The asteroid belt is located between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter.
The main Asteroid Belt orbits at around 3 AU (450 million kilometers) from the Sun, between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter.
There is a second belt of asteroids, the Kuiper Belt, orbiting the sun between Neptune and Sedna. Both asteroid belts contain several planets:
-- The main belt contains Ceres (dwarf planet), Vesta, and Pallas.
-- The Kuiper Belt contains three more dwarf planets and several candidates.

∙ 11y agoMost 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.

Is Saturn inside or out side the asteroid belt?
it is outside the asteroid belt
Is Saturn inside the asteroid belt or out?
no its in the outer side of the asteroid belt
Why are there there 4 rocky planets and 4 gas planets either side of the asteroid belt?
the sun was bigger and brghter then gave birth to four gas planets then rocky ones and probable give birth again our system is getting larger the planets lining up just might do that 26000 104000 104000000 anamate solar system in reverse its possibe
What is the side of Uranus?
If you mean which side is Uranus on of the asteroid belt it's on the gaseous side.
Is mars located inside or outside the asteroid belt?
out side
Why do they call some planets Inner and Outer planets?
The inner and outer planets are broken up by the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter. Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars are "inner planets" because they are on the side of the asteroid belt closest to the sun. All other planets are considered "outer planets".
Is Saturn inside the asteroid belt or out?
no its in the outer side of the asteroid belt
Is Saturn inside or out side the asteroid belt?
it is outside the asteroid belt
Is Jupiter inside the asteroid belt or outside?
The planet Jupiter is outside the asteroid belt, which is located in between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter.
What are the outter planets?
Inner planets are closer to the sun than the outer planets. Inner planets are Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars. The outer planets are Neptune, Uranus, Saturn, and Jupiter (and maybe Pluto. The inner and outer planets are separated by a large distance and an asteroid belt. The inner planets are "rocky" the outer planets are gaseous (with the exception of Pluto.
Is mars a inner planet or outter planet?
Mars is an inner planet. It lies on the side of the asteroid belt which contains Earth, Venus, and Mercury. On the other side of the Asteroid Belt are Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto - which is no longer considered to be a planet, but a dwarf planet. These are the outer planets.
Does the asteroid belt spin clock-wise or anti-clock-wise?
According to my G-slate live backgroung image, the planets rotate clockwise and the asteroid belt counter clockwise. But then I would guess it would depend on which side you were looking at the galaxy from, wouldn't it?

What is Jupiter next too?
The Planet Jupiter is between the planet Saturn and the asteroid belt. On the other side of the asteroid belt is the planet Mars.
Is mars located inside or outside the asteroid belt?
out side
Which planets have an asteroid belt in between them?
The main asteroid belt is a rather broad band ring situated between Mars and Jupiter. Its inner edge (and average distance) is closer to the orbit of Mars than the outer edge is to Jupiter, making planet Mars the closest. Note that Ceres, once identified as a planet, is inside the asteroid belt itself - but now classified as a dwarf planet (or the largest astroid).
