The only similarities are that both are heavenly bodies hurtling through space.

What is the planet between the asteroid belt and Jupiter?

There isn't one.


Does AsteroidBelt have water?

Asteroid belts like the one between Mars and Jupiter contain rocky and metallic objects, but they are not known to have large amounts of water. It is more likely to find water on icy bodies such as comets in the outer regions of the solar system.


What is the biggest known asteroid between Mars and Jupiter?

The largest known asteroid between Mars and Jupiter is Ceres. Ceres is considered a dwarf planet and makes up about one-third of the total mass of the asteroid 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.


Is the comet belt in between mars and Jupiter?

No. The asteroid belt is an area between Mars and Jupiter where most of the solar system's asteroids orbit. The Kupier belt is much farther out. It is a region that contains a large number of comets orbiting beyond Neptune.


Is Uranus one of the plants located in the asteroid belt?

No. There are no planets within the asteroid belt. The asteroid belt is a toroidal (doughnut-shaped) area roughly between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter.

What are one of the rocks in a belt between mars and Jupiter?

One of the rocks found in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter is known as C-type asteroids. These asteroids are carbonaceous in nature and are the most common type in the asteroid belt. They are dark in color and are thought to be primitive remnants from the early solar system.


Is Saturn inside or outside the asteroid belt?

Saturn is outside the asteroid belt. It is one of the outer planets rather than the inner planets, and that determination is made by whether they are between the Sun and the Asteroid Belt, or not.The order goes like this:The SunMercuryVenusEarthMars>>> Asteroid Belt


Is Jupiter one of the inner plantets?

Jupiter is not one of the inner planets. The solar system has four inner planets, which starting with the one that is closest to the sun are Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars, followed by the asteroid belt (which is a division between the inner and outer system) and then the four outer planets, which are Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. After that are various dwarf planets, and the comets.


What are NEAs?

Most asteroids are in the Asteroid Belt between Mars and Jupiter. But a few do come close to the Earth; these are called Near Earth Asteroids. You can see a list of NEAs, and the dates that they will come closest to the Earth, at www.spaceweather.com. Asteroids and comets have collided with the Earth in the past, and someday one will collide with Earth in the future. Depending on the mass of the asteroid, the damage could be catastrophic. 65 million years ago, scientists now believe that an asteroid or comet hit the Earth, causing the extinction of the dinosaurs and most life on Earth.


What is the revolution of the asteroid belt around the sun?

The revolution of asteroids in the asteroid belt is typically between 2 to 6 years, depending on the specific asteroid's distance from the Sun and its orbital speed. The average distance of the asteroid belt from the Sun is about 2.2 to 3.3 astronomical units (AU), with one AU being the average distance between the Earth and the Sun.
