∙ 13y agoThe asteroid belt is an area between the orbits of Jupiter and Mars that contains many small, rocky bodies.
Jupiter does have very faint rings, but these are not called an "asteroid belt".

∙ 15y agoIt's not for anything. It is believed that either it is left-over material from the creation of our solar system or there used to be a planet there that was destroyed (however far-fetched that sounds)

∙ 13y agoThe Asteroid Belt is a vaguely-defined toroidal (doughnut-shaped) region of space roughly between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter. Hundreds of thousands of small and medium-sized rocks orbit around the Sun there

∙ 13y agoIt may be a bit of an exaggeration to talk about an "asteroid belt", as if it were something solid. It isn't. The asteroid belt is predominantly empty space. However, there is a broad region between Mars and Jupiter which are somewhat less empty than the space elsewhere.
It's a BIG area, thinly populated with some fairly big rocks. The largest is the asteroid Ceres, which was reclassified 4 years ago as a "dwarf planet. and two additional objects - Vesta and Pallas - may be reclassified as dwarf planets in the future. The total mass of all the asteroids together is somewhat less than the mass of Earth's Moon.

it is a vast space.

It "goes" in between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter.

What belt of these is found between Mars and Jupiter?
Asteroids. There are many thousand in the Main Belt that occupies an empty orbit between Mars and Jupiter. The largest asteroid, Ceres, has been classified as a "dwarf planet" and contains about 1/3 of the total mass of asteroids in the Main Belt.

What 2 planets have lots of asteroids?
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.
