There isn't really any differences they are the same thing except an asteroid is MUCH MUCH bigger than a meteor, an asteroid is what killed off the dinos along time ago not a meteor. So say Jupiter and Pluto were a meteor, and a asteroid, Pluto wouold be the meteor and Jupiter would be the asteroid

What is a meteorite belt?

There's an "asteroid belt", but there's no such a thing as a "meteor belt". A "meteor" is what we see when a "meteoroid" is heated up as it enters Earth's atmosphere. Meteors are mainly caused by "dust" from comets. There isn't really a "meteoroid belt" either. However, some meteoroids originate from the asteroid belt.

What sentence can you make using the word asteroid?

Asteroid is a noun referring to small heavenly bodies revolving around the sun.

Are all the asteroid in the asteroid belt?

No. Asteroids are scattered throughout the solar system in various orbits, some of which are relatively stable. Some have orbits that pass near Earth. But the vast preponderance of large asteroids are in the Main Belt between Mars and Jupiter. The problem with highly elliptical orbits is that the asteroid will be influenced by the major planets, moons, and the Sun. If its orbit is disturbed, it could be trapped by a giant planet or pulled too close to the Sun. Over the life of the solar system, many small asteroids have been either pulled into the Sun or ejected from the inner solar system by the gravity fields there.
