What else can I help you with?
What is a group of objects that orbits between mars and Jupiter?
It's called the Asteroid belt. See the related link for more informtion.
Tiny planets that orbit Mars and Jupiter?
Objects that orbit a planet are called moons or satellites, they are not planets. Both Mars and Jupiter have moons; Jupiter has a lot more than Mars does, and some of them are quite large, too. The two moons of Mars, Phobos and Deimos, are relatively small, perhaps even tiny.
How many asteroids do scientist believes exist in the solar system?
Scientists estimate that there are over 750,000 asteroids in the solar system, with the majority found in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter. This number continues to grow as more are discovered through telescopic observations and space missions.
Typically orbit the sun at approximately 3 au?
Not much. Earth is at 1 AU, by definition, and Mars is at about 1.5 AU. Between Mars and Jupiter (about 5 AU) there are no large planets; it is thought that Jupiter's gravity interfered with planets forming near it. Instead, there are billions of asteroids, which are of similar chemical makeup to the inner planets (i.e. mostly rocks and metals), but much smaller, ranging from smaller than a sand grain to the size of U.S. states. We have observed several thousand of the larger ones; these are irregularly-shaped rocky things the size of cities. The largest, Ceres, is almost 600 miles across and orbits between 2.54 and 2.98 AU. So, I suppose I could say that Ceres is at 3 AU, once every 4.5 (Earth) years. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ceres_(dwarf_planet) for more about Ceres.
What planet is between Mars and Jupiter?
Except for the dwarf planet Ceres (largest of the asteroids), there is no real planet between Mars and Jupiter, Instead, there is a wide, sparsely populated belt of asteroids. This is referred to as the "Main Belt". It was once speculated that a planet did exist between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter, based on the distances of the known planets from the Sun. Many of the early astronomers viewed the asteroid belt as the remains of a planet that was destroyed by a devastating impact with another stellar object. However, the current theory is that no planet ever formed there due to gravitational interactions between the Sun and Jupiter. These could have stopped the accretion process from actually allowing the planetesimals to "gel" together. The mass of the belt is relatively low, suggesting that much of the original mass there has been dispersed. See related link for more information.
Are asteroids more closer to earth or mars?
Mars, the asteroid belt is in between Mars and Jupiter.
Is most asteroids located between mars and jupiter?
No, Actually most asteroids are found beyond Pluto, the asteroid ring there is called the Kupiter belt it has much more asteroids between the belt between Jupiter and Mars. -- BananaPower

Where do most asteroids exist?
Most asteroids exist in the asteroid belt, which is located between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter. This region is characterized by a large concentration of small rocky bodies that orbit the Sun. Some asteroids can also be found in other regions of the solar system.
How many more moons does Jupiter have than Mars?
Jupiter has 79 known moons, while Mars has 2. Therefore, Jupiter has 77 more moons than Mars.
Between what planets will you find the asteroid belt?
The largest collection of asteroids is found orbiting the Sun between orbits of Mars and Jupiter, This area is sometimes called the "asteroid belt". Think about it this way: the asteroid belt is a big highway in a circle around the Sun. The asteroids are like cars on the highway, except that they are thousands of miles apart on the average. Even so, sometimes the asteroid cars run into one another. When this happens, the asteroids may break up into smaller asteroids. Scientists think that most asteroids are the result of collisions between larger rocky space bodies. Asteroids can be a few feet to several hundred miles wide. The belt probably contains at least 40,000 asteroids that are more than 0.5 miles across. If an asteroid is disturbed by the gravitational pull of a planet, or is involved in a collision, it can be thrown out of the belt and go into orbit as a moon. Some of Jupiter's many small moons were likely once asteroids.
Where do most asteroids orbit?
Most of the asteroids in our Solar system are located between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter. It is referred to as the Asteroid belt. They are rocky remnants left over from the early formation of our solar system about 4.6 billion years ago.
Tiny planets that orbit Mars and Jupiter?
Objects that orbit a planet are called moons or satellites, they are not planets. Both Mars and Jupiter have moons; Jupiter has a lot more than Mars does, and some of them are quite large, too. The two moons of Mars, Phobos and Deimos, are relatively small, perhaps even tiny.
How many times more would you weigh on Jupiter than on Mars?
You would weigh about 6.68 times more on Jupiter.
Where is the asteroid belt located in the atmosphere?
The main Asteroid Belt in the solar system is located between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter. It contains many millions of rocky objects and dust particles, and the dwarf planet Ceres (formerly considered simply the largest of the asteroids). However, there are other asteroids that orbit outside the main belt; some of them come in as close as Venus, and out as far as Neptune. Beyond Neptune, the Kuiper Belt contains many more icy objects, including three dwarf planets.
How many times more massive is Jupiter compared to mars?
Mars has a mass of 0.642 X 10^24 kg. Jupiter has a mass of 1,900 X 10^24 kg. Therefore, Jupiter has a mass which is 2,959.50156 times greater than Mars.
