Each individual member of the asteroid 'belt' ... and there may be millions of them ...
revolves around the sun in its own orbit and with its own orbital period.
Most of them stay between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter, so their orbital periods
are between 2 years and 12 years.

What causes planetary wind belts?
Planetary wind belts are caused by the combined effects of the rotation of the Earth and the unequal heating of the atmosphere by the Sun. As warm air rises at the equator and cold air sinks at the poles, a series of convection cells are created, which result in the formation of wind belts. The Coriolis effect, caused by the Earth's rotation, also influences the direction of the wind within these belts.
The planetary wind belts in the troposphere are primarily caused by the?
Planetary wind belts in the troposphere are primarily caused by the uneven heating of Earth's surface by the sun. This differential heating leads to variations in air temperature and pressure, creating convection currents which result in the formation of the wind belts. The Earth's rotation also plays a role in shaping these wind patterns through the Coriolis effect.
What is a wind pattern?
Wind patterns are the way the winds blow. There are six major wind belts and each hemisphere is divided into three wind belts. The wind belts are polar easterlies, the westerly's, and the trade winds.
What are the causes and consequence of shifting of pressure belts?
the shifting of pressure belts causes some places to be in different wind belts during the year thus affecting their climates... the belts of precipitation associated with them also change their positions when pressure belts shift with the seasons.
What are the names of the 3 global wind belts?
Polar Easterlies: From 60-90 degrees latitude.Prevailing Westerlies: From 30-60 degrees latitude (aka Westerlies).Tropical Easterlies: From 0-30 degrees latitude (aka Trade Winds).The three major global wind belts are the trade winds, the polar easterlies, and the prevailing westerliesHope this helped~Zadr
How many belts does the sun have?
The sun has 2 belts ,the asteroid and the kuiper belt.
Are asteroid belts celestial objects?
Asteroid belts are not individual celestial objects themselves, but rather regions in space between planets that contain numerous small rocky bodies called asteroids. These belts are typically located in the inner regions of the solar system, such as between Mars and Jupiter.
Where are most asteroid belts located?
orbiting the sun
The belts of the solar system?
asteroid belt and kipter belt.
What separates the inner plants and the outer plants?
the asteroid belts
What 2 planets is between the asteroid belts?
mars andjupiter
Where do asteroid belts come from?
Some astronomers think that asteroid came from fragments of a planet that disrupted by a strong gravitational force.
What is some information on asteroid belts?
The asteroid belt in our solar system, separates the inner and outer planets from each other.
Are all asteroids in the main asteroid belt?
No. There are other asteroid belts besides the main asteroid belt in our solar system. Also, there are asteroids outside our solar system.
What is made up of dust and rock?
Deserts Asteroid belts Barren mountains
Has main asteroid belts been seen by astronomers?
Yes (since 1801).
What are two belts of the solar system called?
The two belts are the asteroid belt and the Kuiper belt. The asteroid belt is located between Mars and Jupiter, populated with rocky objects. The Kuiper belt is farther out, beyond Neptune, and is home to many icy bodies and dwarf planets.
