Aphelion is the point in a planet's orbit where it is farthest from the sun. This is when the planet is at its greatest distance from the sun in its orbital path.
The closest distance from the earth to the sun is about 147 kilometers. This figure changes all the time and at its farthest, the sun is about 152 kilometers away.
Kepler's third law states that the square of an asteroid's orbital period is directly proportional to the cube of its average distance from the sun. This means that as the distance from the sun increases, the orbital period of the asteroid also increases.
The temperatures in the asteroid belt can vary greatly depending on the distance from the Sun. On average, temperatures can range from about -100 degrees Celsius in the outer regions to around 200 degrees Celsius in the inner regions. Overall, it is not as hot as some other regions of the solar system due to the distance from the Sun.
The Earth reaches its greatest distance from the Sun during the summer season in the Northern Hemisphere. Though it may seem counterintuitive, the distance between the Earth and the Sun varies due to the elliptical shape of Earth's orbit, with the Earth being farthest from the Sun during the summer months.
The revolution of asteroids in the asteroid belt is typically between 2 to 6 years, depending on the specific asteroid's distance from the Sun and its orbital speed. The average distance of the asteroid belt from the Sun is about 2.2 to 3.3 astronomical units (AU), with one AU being the average distance between the Earth and the Sun.
The asteroid belt is located 300-600x106km (or 2-4AU) away from the sun.
Yes, any asteroid within the distance of pluto, and a few beyond it, are in the sun's gravitational pull. If they weren't, they would drift off into space.
Within our Solar System, Neptune, the furthest planet from the Sun has the greatest distance to travel.

Pallas is 2.772 AU (414.737 Gm) from the Sun. (Semi-major axis)
Mars' average distance from the sun is greater than Earth's average distance, and less than the average distance of most of the members of the asteroid belt. So, the answer is YES.
Yes. A version of Kepler's 3rd Law is: The square of the period of revolution of a planet (or asteroid) around the Sun (in Earth years) is equal to the cube of its average distance (in AU from) the Sun. In this case that means 8 squared (64) should equal 4 cubed (64). It does. So, the asteroid is keeping to the Law. Thank goodness for that.

The average distance between Juno, which is an asteroid, and the Sun is about 414 million kilometers (257 million miles). This distance can vary due to the elliptical orbit of Juno around the Sun.
The Asteroid belt lies between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter at an average distance between 186 million miles and 300 million miles, (300 million and 600 million kilometers). The distance from the Sun to the Earth is 93 million miles sometimes referred to as an Astronomical Unit, (AU). The Asteroid Belt is between 2.7 and 4.0 au's from the sun along the ecliptic.
