how long does it take the asteroid belt to revolve around the sun?
A comet orbiting the sun will always have it's tail pointing away from the sun.
The main asteroid belt is actually called the asteroid belt - pretty dull really.
Actually there are an place of Asteroids. Sun Mercury Venus Earth Mars ASTEROID Belt. So why I capitalized the word ASTEROID on ASTEROID Belt. Because this Belt is full of Asteroids
The asteroid belt is located between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter. As such, the outer planets (or Jovian planets) can be said to be outside the asteroid belt. That is, they are located beyond the belt and are therefore further away from the sun than the belt.
The sun has 2 belts ,the asteroid and the kuiper belt.

Jupiter orbits the sun outside the asteroid belt.
The asteroid belt is located 300-600x106km (or 2-4AU) away from the sun.

Mercury is not a part of the asteroid belt. The asteroid belt is located between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter. Mercury is far closer to the sun.
Mars is located 227.9x106km (or 1.52AU) from the sun, and the asteroid belt is located 300-600x106km (or 2-4AU) from the sun.
No, the asteroid belt orbits the Sun somewhere beyond Mars, but not as far as Jupiter.
The asteroid belt
From the sun it goes Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, ASTEROID belt, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto (although no longer classed as a planet). So the earth is inside the orbit of the asteroid belt.
