The old saying "a miss is as good as a mile", although if an asteroid were to pass within about 300 miles of the Earth, it would definitely be "too close for comfort"!

A "safe" distance might be anything greater than about 25,000 miles, which would prevent it from colliding with our geosynchronous satellites as well.

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.
