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.
How do meteors get knocked out of the asteroid belt?
There are collisions between asteroids, which can knock asteroids and asteroid fragments into different orbits. Some asteroids may not have originated in the asteroid belt.

Is Uranus inside or outside the asteroid belt?
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.

What is the gap called between mars and Jupiter?
Between the orbit of Mars and Jupiter, there is the asteroid belt. This is made up of millions of small rocks that are in a direct orbit around the sun. Most of these objects are boulder sized or smaller, but some are quite large. The largest is a Dwarf planet called Ceres, which is around 975km in diameter. Its the only one in the asteroid belt called a dwarf planet as it it big enough, and has enough gravity to make itself into a spherical shape.
