What else can I help you with?
Are all the asteroid in the asteroid belt?
No. Asteroids are scattered throughout the solar system in various orbits, some of which are relatively stable. Some have orbits that pass near Earth. But the vast preponderance of large asteroids are in the Main Belt between Mars and Jupiter. The problem with highly elliptical orbits is that the asteroid will be influenced by the major planets, moons, and the Sun. If its orbit is disturbed, it could be trapped by a giant planet or pulled too close to the Sun. Over the life of the solar system, many small asteroids have been either pulled into the Sun or ejected from the inner solar system by the gravity fields there.
Most asteroids orbit the sun in the?
Actually there are an place of Asteroids. Sun Mercury Venus Earth Mars ASTEROID Belt. So why I capitalized the word ASTEROID on ASTEROID Belt. Because this Belt is full of Asteroids
Does the asteroid belt have any moons or rings why?
Only a few have been observed. There are several relatively small Kuiper Belt objects that have tiny moons. Two NEOs (Near Earth Objects) each have two confirmed satellites: 1994-CC and 2001-SN263. 1994-CC (700 m in diameter) is actually smaller than the "moons" of the other NEO and its own satellites are only a few meters in diameter. There are also asteroid groups that revolve around common centers of gravity for various lengths of time. But asteroids that orbit each other are more properly described as "double asteroids" rather than an asteroid and moon. The term "moon" refers typically to bodies orbiting major planets.
How did Jupiter get its smaller moons?
Most of Jupiter's smaller moons were actually asteroids in the asteroid belt. Jupiter's immense gravity pulled them out and into it's orbit. Some just spun around and around until it was flung into space, but most stayed to become moons.
Which planets are the asteroid belt?
There are no planets in the asteroid belt. There are asteroids and the dwarf planet Ceres.
Do some asteroids have moon?
Yes, some asteroids in the Asteroid Belt have moons.
How meany moons doe's the asteroid belt have?
I think you will find that asteroids do not have moons.
Is it true that Deimos and Phobos are believed to be asteroids from the belt between Mars and Jupiter pulled by Mars' gravity?
Yes, it is commonly thought the moons originated as asteroids, pulled from the belt by gravity.
The two moons of Mars are believed to be captured?
Yes, the two moons of Mars, Phobos and Deimos, are believed to be captured asteroids. They are irregularly shaped and have compositions similar to asteroids in the outer asteroid belt. This theory is supported by their small size, irregular orbits, and low densities.

What in the solar system is closer to Jupiter than Mars?
The asteroid belt (many of Jupiter's smaller moons are captured asteroids).

What rocks orbit the sun?
Terrestrial planets and moons of both gaseous and terrestrial planets. Don't forget Dwarf planets and the asteroid belt.
How did Jupiter get its smaller moons?
Most of Jupiter's smaller moons were actually asteroids in the asteroid belt. Jupiter's immense gravity pulled them out and into it's orbit. Some just spun around and around until it was flung into space, but most stayed to become moons.
Is earth in the asteroid belt?
There are asteroids around, but the asteroid belt is out beyond the planet Mars.
Which planets are the asteroid belt?
There are no planets in the asteroid belt. There are asteroids and the dwarf planet Ceres.
