Craters and the position of the planet.
Some people (including me) are led to believe that when the planets were being made, there were hundreds. These planets smashed into each other to basically start a planet war. The only ones that were left were our current 9 planets, and the rest settled out to become the asteroid belt.
There are no planets in the asteroid belt. There are asteroids and the dwarf planet Ceres.
Mars is an "inner planet", but it's not in the main asteroid belt. There are the inner planets, then the asteroid belt, then the outer planets.
There is no "impact asteroid". An asteroid impact however is when an asteroid hits a planet or moon.
The asteroid belt separates the inner planets (Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars) from the outer planets (Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune). The inner planets are smaller, denser, and rocky, while the outer planets are larger, gaseous, and have rings.

The asteroid belt is in-between the inner and outer planets.
The planets that are after the asteroid belt are: Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, [Pluto].
Because they are in the asteroid belt. The planets that are outside of the asteroid belt are called the outer planets.

the asteroid belt is located between the planets mars and Jupiter
The Asteroid Belt
There is no "impact asteroid". An asteroid impact however is when an asteroid hits a planet or moon.
There aren't any planets within our solar system that have an asteroid belt themselves. There is, however, an asteroid belt located between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter.
The asteroid belt separates the inner planets (Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars) from the outer planets (Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune). The inner planets are smaller, denser, and rocky, while the outer planets are larger, gaseous, and have rings.
It is one of the outer planets, it is not in the asteroid belt it is the first one beyond it.
