The two locations in the solar system where most asteroids hang out are the Asteroid Belt (what a surprise!) between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter, and the Kuiper belt, which lies outside the orbit of the outer planets of the solar system. The locations are probably best understood by looking at pictorial presentations, and the really interested person would find them on the sites located in the related links, below.

∙ 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.
