The asteroid belt is not a single object. You would have to assess the gravity on each asteroid individually.
Venus and Mercury are between the Earth and the Sun. Mars is between the Earth and the asteroid belt, and Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune are on the other side of the asteroid belt from the Earth.
There are multiple theories for the material in the asteroid belt. First, note that the entire mass of the asteroid belt objects is a few percent of Earth's mass -- what is there today would not form much of a planet. One fairly good theory is that a planet did have an irregular orbit with the highest part where the asteroid belt is today. However, the planet's highly elliptical orbit brought it across the orbits of Mars and Earth. It collided with Earth, leaving much of its mass in the Earth but also spewing out material that eventually formed our Moon. A small portion of the material survives in the asteroid belt and as the small moons of Mars.
The asteroid belt is shaped like a donut. The earth and moon, mars, venus, mercury and sun are all in the hole in the middle.
The asteroid belt is in between Mars and Jupiter.
Asteroids. There are many thousand in the Main Belt that occupies an empty orbit between Mars and Jupiter. The largest asteroid, Ceres, has been classified as a "dwarf planet" and contains about 1/3 of the total mass of asteroids in the Main Belt.
Yes, the asteroid belt starts properly after the orbit of Mars.
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.
No.
Gravity and inertia. The rocks in the asteroid belt are in free fall, and orbit the Sun under the influence of gravity. Sometimes they collide, and the fragments are knocked into different orbits, and sometimes those new orbits cause the objects to leave the asteroid belt. Some astronomers believe that the asteroid that hit the Earth 65 million years ago came from the asteroid belt after a collision like this.
There are asteroids around, but the asteroid belt is out beyond the planet Mars.
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.
No the asteroid belt is placed between mars and Jupiter
No most of the asteroids are in the asteroid belt which is between Mars and Jupiter.
Earth is inside the asteroid belt which lies between Mars and Jupiter.
The crab people currently inhabit the asteroid belt. The furthest from Earth that humans have reached is the Moon which is a tiny fraction of the distance to the asteroid belt.
True... the asteroid belt can be found between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter.
