M-Type asteroids
Asteroids are found all over the solar system. The vast majority is located in the asteroid belt between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter.
asteroid belt
An asteroid is a relatively small object in space composed primarily of rock and/or metal. An asteroid belt is a region in space around a star that has a higher then normal concentration of asteroids.
The asteroid belt is the region of the Solar System located roughly between the orbits of the planets Mars and Jupiter. It is occupied by numerous irregularly shaped bodies called asteroids or minor planets. The asteroid belt region is also termed the main belt to distinguish it from other concentrations of minor planets within the Solar System, such as the Kuiper belt and scattered disc.
Most of the asteroids within our solar system can be found within the Asteroid Belt. Located between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter, the Asteroid Belt consists of millions of individual asteroids of varying sizes - from a speck of dust to hundreds of kilometers in diameter. The largest object within the belt is a dwarf planet - Ceres - which has a mass of 9.47x1020kg and a diameter of 476.2km

No. The asteroid belt is not an object but a region with more asteroids than the rest of the solar system. Asteroids themselves have too little gravity to have atmospheres.
the asteroid belt
No. The asteroid belt is not an object. It is a region of the solar system where there are more asteroids than in other areas.
Yes
The asteroid belt is in between Mars and Jupiter.

The asteroid belt is a region in the solar system between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter where almost all the asteroids are concentrated. This region looks like a belt, or a ring around the Sun.

No. An asteroid is a relatively large chunk of rock and/or metal in orbit around the sun. The asteroid belt is a region in the solar system between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter where the majority of the asteroids orbit.
