How long is the asteriod belt?

The asteroid belt is roughly circular, with a radius of about 3 AU (astronomical unit; 1 AU = 149,597,870.7 km, the mean orbital radius of Earth).The formula for the circumference of a circle is C = 2πr, or πd. Therefore, the circumference of the asteroid belt is approximately 2,819,853,430 km.(Additionally, the width of the asteroid belt is about 1.5 AU, or slightly larger than Earth's distance from the sun.)

Are there any moons in the asteroid belt if so how many?

There are a number of small asteroids that act as "moons" for somewhat larger asteroids. But only one asteroid, the dwarf planet Ceres, is as large as the larger moons of the major planets. In some cases, there are co-orbiting pairs of asteroids, one not vastly larger than the other. Notable Main Belt asteroids that have small moons are: * 243 Ida, an oblong asteroid about 59 km long, has a small moon named Dactyl (about 1.6 km diameter). * 22 Kalliope, about 235 km long and 80 km in radius has a relatively large moon, Linus (about 28 km). * 87 Sylvia, about 385 km long has two moons Sylvia I-Romulus and Sylvia II-Remus, each about 11 km in diameter.
