Best Answer

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.
