Asteroids
The moons stay in orbit around Jupiter by the force of gravity.
Mars is the only planet between Earth and Jupiter, but there is a "dwarf planet", Ceres, which is the biggest body in the Asteroid Belt. Another large asteroid is Vesta, and there are thousands of smaller rocks orbiting between Jupiter and Mars. .
The rocks between Mars and Jupiter are known as the asteroid belt. Many of the asteroids are grouped into families. Examples of asteroid families include Flora, Eunoma, Koronis, Eos and Themis.
Jupiter is mostly made out of gas not rock.
One of the rocks found in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter is known as C-type asteroids. These asteroids are carbonaceous in nature and are the most common type in the asteroid belt. They are dark in color and are thought to be primitive remnants from the early solar system.
These are asteroids. They all belong to the Asteroid Belt, which is located between the planets of Mars and Jupiter.
The Asteroid Belt is a toroidal (doughnut-shaped) region of space in which a large number of stray rocks are orbiting.
Between Mars and Jupiter is the asteroid belt
Yes, the asteroid belt orbits between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter. Asteroids are rocky bodies varying from many miles in size to small rocks, orbiting the Sun.

Yes. These are some of the "asteroids".
The most numerous bodies in the solar system are asteroids. There are estimated to be millions of them, with most of them located in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter. They vary in size from small rocks to large bodies several hundred kilometers in diameter.

It is believed that Jupiter has a rocky core, but it is unliekly that there are discrete rocks there.
Yes, there are many rocks that are orbiting the sun. Some examples of these rocks would be meteorites or asteroids that circle the sun due to the combined forces of the sun's gravitational force, and the rocks forward momentum. This keeps the rock from falling into the star, but at the same time, prevents the body from escaping the sun's gravitational force. Most of these meteorites are located in belts between mars and Jupiter, and in a belt outside of Pluto, however there are many stragglers that follow erratic courses apart from the others. Kapeesh?
