Most of the asteroids within our solar system can be found within the Asteroid Belt. Located between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter, the Asteroid Belt consists of millions of individual asteroids of varying sizes - from a speck of dust to hundreds of kilometers in diameter. The largest object within the belt is a dwarf planet - Ceres - which has a mass of 9.47x1020kg and a diameter of 476.2km.

What 2 planets have lots of asteroids?
The two locations in the solar system where most asteroids hang out are the Asteroid Belt (what a surprise!) between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter, and the Kuiper belt, which lies outside the orbit of the outer planets of the solar system. The locations are probably best understood by looking at pictorial presentations, and the really interested person would find them on the sites located in the related links, below.
A rocky body that orbits the sun between the planets?
It sounds like you are describing an asteroid, which is a small rocky body that orbits the sun. Asteroids are most commonly found in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter, but they can exist in various other regions of the solar system as well.
What planets do asteroids orbit?
Asteroids can orbit around any planet in our solar system, but most are found in the Asteroid Belt between Mars and Jupiter. Some asteroids can also have orbits that bring them close to Earth or other planets like Venus, Mercury, or even beyond Neptune in the Kuiper Belt.
Where are asteroids found in the solar system?
Most asteroids are located in the asteroid belt which is just between Mars and Jupiter's orbit. Here, there are thousands of them. Some are also found in Jupiter's orbit, these are called Trojan asteroids. Finally, there are a few near the Earth which are called Apollo asteroids. An asteroid is made up of rock and metal, and are basically remnants of the earliest years of the formation of the solar system (roughly about 4 billion years ago).
How do the orbits of comets differ from the orbits of most asteroids?
Comets are balls of ice and dust in orbit around the Sun. The orbits of comets are different from those of planets - they are elliptical. A comet's orbit takes it very close to the Sun and then far away again.
