asteroids are in space. in our solar system they are located in the asteroid belt. this a location roughly between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter
No. There are other asteroid belts besides the main asteroid belt in our solar system. Also, there are asteroids outside our solar system.
Asteroids are bits of rock floating around in space.
Ceres, Vesta, Pallas, and Hygeia. are the four largest planets
Comets are Comets and Asteroids are Asteroids
Asteroids are primarily rock and ice
There are three main clusterings of asteroids in our solar system: the Asteroid Belt, the first one identified, which is composed mostly of rocky asteroids, the Kuiper Belt, which contains several dwarf planets, and many icy asteroids, and the Oort Cloud, a theoretical halo of sorts surrounding our solar system, comprised mainly of comets and icy asteroids.
Asteroids strike the surface of the Earth randomly. There is no place on the earth that is a preferred location for asteroid strikes.

There are some asteroids that are closer to the sun than the Earth, but most are further out, with the main concentration between Mars and Jupiter.
"In space" is probably too general an answer. In truth, asteroids are all over the solar system. The majority of asteroids travel in a poorly-defined region called the "Asteroid Belt" between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter, approximately 4 AU out from the Sun.But there are plenty of asteroids that orbit at other distances as well.
Meteors come from leftover debris of asteroids in the Asteroid Belt between Mars and Jupiter .
