Some may have, but they have since migrated to orbits nearer the Sun.

Where did comets that are now in the Kuiper belt originally form?
near the radius at which they orbit today
Where do comets form?
Comets have two main sources, the Oort Cloud or the Kuiper Belt
How do comets form the oort could differ from those found in the kuiper belt?
No one cares.
Is there really evidence that there was a planet on the asteroid belt?
There certainly is enough material in the asteroid belt to form another planet, however the immense gravity of Jupiter prevented a planet from forming.
Why didn't a planet form where the asteroid belt is now located?
Gravitational tugs from Jupiter prevented material from collecting together to form a planet.
Where did Pluto form?
in the Kuiper Belt

How does the kuiper belt differ from the Orion belt?
The Kuiper belt is a ring-shaped region of ice objects that orbit the sun beyond the orbit of Neptune. It is home the the dwarf planets Pluto, Haumea, and Makemake and is the origin of most comets. Orion's belt is a set of three stars that appear to form the belt of the constellation Orion.
Is there a planet named make a make?
There isn't a planet called 'make a make', but there is a 'dwarf planet' called Makemake. This was discovered relatively recently in 2005 in the distant outer solar system, further away from the Sun than any of the true planets - in the region called the 'Kuiper belt'. It is just a bit smaller than Pluto (having about 3/4 the diameter), and is a categorised as a dwarf planet for the same reason that Pluto was 'demoted' from being called a planet in 2006. This is because although it is massive enough with sufficiently strong gravity to form a spherical shape, it has not cleared its neighbouring region of small bodies (called planetesimals). Other 'dwarf planets' of roughly similar size that have been discovered so far are Haumea (also in the Kuiper belt), Ceres (the biggest chunk of rock in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter) and Eris, which lies in the 'scattered disc' - even more distant than the Kuiper belt, about 70 times further away from the Sun than the Earth!
Is a asteroid belt a terrestrial planet?
No. The asteroid belt is an area where there are more asteroids than in other parts of the solar system It is not a planet, nor is there enough mass in the asteroid belt to form a whole planet.
Which planet form a belt between Mars and Jupiter?
Between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter is the Asteroid Belt, which includes the dwarf planet Ceres.
Is there really evidence that there was a planet on the asteroid belt?
There certainly is enough material in the asteroid belt to form another planet, however the immense gravity of Jupiter prevented a planet from forming.

Can mercury be seen form earth?
No. The asteroid belt blocks the planet from being as well as the size and distace of the planet
