Asteroids primarily reside in the asteroid belt, which is located between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter. This region contains a vast number of rocky bodies that vary in size and composition. Additionally, some asteroids can be found in other locations, such as near-Earth space and in the Kuiper Belt beyond Neptune.
The main components of asteroids are rock and metal. They can also contain organic compounds, silicate minerals, carbonaceous materials, and sometimes water ice. Asteroids come in various compositions depending on their location in the solar system.
No. There are other asteroid belts besides the main asteroid belt in our solar system. Also, there are asteroids outside our solar system.
Ceres, Vesta, Pallas, and Hygeia. are the four largest planets
There are three main types of asteroids: C-type (carbonaceous), S-type (silicaceous), and M-type (metallic). C-type asteroids are dark and carbon-rich, S-type asteroids are bright and stony, and M-type asteroids are primarily composed of metals like nickel and iron.
asteroids are in space. in our solar system they are located in the asteroid belt. this a location roughly between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter
Asteroids are primarily rock and ice
There are three main clusterings of asteroids in our solar system: the Asteroid Belt, the first one identified, which is composed mostly of rocky asteroids, the Kuiper Belt, which contains several dwarf planets, and many icy asteroids, and the Oort Cloud, a theoretical halo of sorts surrounding our solar system, comprised mainly of comets and icy asteroids.

Asteroids strike the surface of the Earth randomly. There is no place on the earth that is a preferred location for asteroid strikes.
Most asteroids are between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter.

between mars and jupiter.
There are some asteroids that are closer to the sun than the Earth, but most are further out, with the main concentration between Mars and Jupiter.
"In space" is probably too general an answer. In truth, asteroids are all over the solar system. The majority of asteroids travel in a poorly-defined region called the "Asteroid Belt" between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter, approximately 4 AU out from the Sun.But there are plenty of asteroids that orbit at other distances as well.
Meteors come from leftover debris of asteroids in the Asteroid Belt between Mars and Jupiter .
Their main location is Chicago, Illinois.
