Does the asteroid belt have more stars than the solar system?
The asteroid belt has no stars, the solar system one.
Is the asteroid belt located outside the solar system?

According to modern theory how was the solar system formed?
The best view of the solar system is that from either of the two Voyager spacecraft which show the solar system from outside. The modern view of the solar system is that there are 8 planets orbiting the Sun. There are also a lot of smaller bodies orbiting the Sun. They are mainly the dwarf planets, asteroids, Kuiper Belt objects, and comets.
Why was Pluto not a gas giant?
Interesting question. You are wondering why an object as small as Pluto would show up in the part of the solar system where you would expect gas giants. Clearly, Pluto has a much different origin from the planets it hangs out with. Pluto is a Kuyper object, meaning that it is from the Kuyper belt, a gigantic field of asteroids beyond the orbit of Neptune. This is one of the reasons that its place on the list of major planets was questioned.
What are two regions of the solar system?
Comets originate from two regions in the Solar System, the Kuiper Belt and the Oort cloud.
Which object in our solar system has the least gravity?
Either a dust speck in the asteroid belt or in the Kuyper belt.
The solar system contains only the sun planets and satellites?
It also contains asteroids and comets, which technically are not satellites as they do not orbit a planet, but orbit the sun in the asteroid belt, the Kuyper belt, and the Oort cloud.
Does the kuiper belt have galaxies?
The Kuiper Belt is part of the Solar System. In other words, it is much smaller than a galaxy.
What part of your solar system is Pluto considered a part of?
The old name of our star, which we sometimes call the "Sun" is "Sol". Sol has a number of planets, planetesimals, and rocks orbiting it. This is therefore called the "Sol"-ar system, or simply, the Solar System. Pluto is now classified as a "dwarf planet". Pluto may be a part of the Kuyper Belt at the far edge of our Solar System.
Why is it the meteors is the part of the solar system?
the meteorites are part of the solar system because they are in the asteroid belt an the asteroid belt is in the solar system
Is Earth our solar system?
Um... No Earth is the planet we live on not the solar system. The solar system is basically the things around our star, The Sun. Earth is in the solar system if that's what you mean but no Earth is not our solar system. (The solar system contains of the Sun, Mercury Venus Earth Mars Asteroid belt Jupiter Saturn Neptune Uranus with all the planet's moons the Kuiper belt the 5 dwarf planets and smaller objects.)
What in the solar system is closer to Jupiter than Mars?
The asteroid belt (many of Jupiter's smaller moons are captured asteroids).
Does the asteroid belt have more stars than the solar system?
The asteroid belt has no stars, the solar system one.
What are the four parts of the solar system?
The inner solar system, the asteroid belt, the Jovian planets, and the Edgeworth-Kuiper belt.
Is the asteroid belt located outside the solar system?
No, it is part of the Solar system.
The belts of the solar system?
asteroid belt and kipter belt.
Does the asteroid belt help or hurt the major planets of our solar system?
The Asteroid Belt has no effect on any of the major planets of our solar system.
