Jupiter has an effect on the orbits of the asteroids, but I wouldn't really say that's what holds them in the area beyond Mars.

Which object's gravity holds the planets in their orbits?

The sun's gravity holds the planets in their orbits. It also holds other space objects in their orbits, such as asteroids.


Does the sun's gravity holds most of the asteroids in the area beyond mars?

No, the gravity of the Sun primarily affects the planets and large objects in the solar system. Asteroids beyond Mars are influenced by the gravitational tug of large gas giants like Jupiter and Saturn, as well as interactions with other objects in the solar system. The Sun's gravity does play a role in the general structure and dynamics of the asteroid belt, but individual asteroids are not held in place by it.
