Asteroids ("star like things") better name Planetoids ("planet like things"). Bits of the rocky parts of the early Solar System that didn't get to form into one planet, presumably due to the perturbations of Jupiter's gravity. They lie in a harmonic zone where a planet should be, but the largest of them, Ceres, is only about the size of Texas.
What else can I help you with?
One of many rocks in a belt between mars and Jupiter?
This is likely referring to the asteroid belt, a region between Mars and Jupiter where millions of rocky objects, called asteroids, orbit the sun. These asteroids vary in size and composition, with some being as small as a pebble and others as large as small moons. The asteroid belt is not a dense field of debris as commonly depicted in movies, but rather a vast expanse of space with a large number of individual objects.
What are fragments of matter similar to planetary matter that orbit between mars and Jupiter?
Those are called asteroids, which are rocky objects that orbit the Sun. They are leftover fragments from the formation of the solar system and are mainly found in the asteroid belt located between Mars and Jupiter.
Small planets with orbits between mars and jupiter?
Between the orbit of Mars and Jupiter, there is the asteroid belt. This is made up of millions of small rocks that are in a direct orbit around the sun. Most of these objects are boulder sized or smaller, but some are quite large. The largest is a Dwarf planet called Ceres, which is around 975km in diameter. Its the only one in the asteroid belt called a dwarf planet as it it big enough, and has enough gravity to make itself into a spherical shape.
What is the gap called between mars and Jupiter?

The ring of minor planets between mars and jupiter?
Between the orbit of Mars and Jupiter, there is the asteroid belt. This is made up of millions of small rocks that are in a direct orbit around the sun. Its not really a ring though, although there are millions of bodies here, there are large distances between them and the space at this point is still quite sparsely populated with them. Not so much a "ring" as a "torus", sort of a doughnut or bagel shape.
What are tiny planets that orbit between Mars and Jupiter called?
Tiny planets that orbit between Mars and Jupiter are called asteroids.
What are the masses called that orbit between Mars and Jupiter?
The asteroids.
What is are the objects that orbit the sun between Mars and Jupiter?

There are called asteroids.
What are objects called that orbit the sun in a belt between mars and Jupiter?
The asteroids
What are the objects called that orbit the sun it a belt between mars and Jupiter?
an asteroid belt
What is an region of space between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter in witch asteroids orbit is called?
The region of space between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter where asteroids orbit is called the asteroid belt. It is located between 2.1 and 3.3 astronomical units from the Sun.
What are the large space rocks?
A large piece of space rock is called an asteroid these are rocky objects that are thought to be the remanents of the big bang they orbit the sun between Mars and Jupiter However, when they come in contact or close to earth's atmosphrere they turn into meteors or meteorites.
What is Saturn near?
Saturn's orbit is between Jupiter and Uranus. But there are points when the closest large body to Saturn is the Sun.
Do comets orbit mars and Jupiter?
No. Comets orbit the sun. Many asteroids orbit the sun in between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter.
What bodies in the solar system orbit between orbit between mars and Jupiter?
Asteroids
What is millions of smallrocky objects orbit the Sun between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter?
That is called the asteroid belt.
