The asteroid belt is sometimes referred to as the "main belt," while the Kuiper belt is also known as the "Edgeworth-Kuiper belt."
The asteroid belt is the region of the Solar System located roughly between the orbits of the planets Mars and Jupiter. It is occupied by numerous irregularly shaped bodies called asteroids or minor planets. The asteroid belt region is also termed the main belt to distinguish it from other concentrations of minor planets within the Solar System, such as the Kuiper belt and scattered disc.
The asteroid belt is located between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter. As such, the outer planets (or Jovian planets) can be said to be outside the asteroid belt. That is, they are located beyond the belt and are therefore further away from the sun than the belt.

No, there is no known planet existing between Mars and Jupiter. Between Mars and Jupiter is an asteroid belt known as the Kepler belt.
The asteroid belt orbits between the rocky planets and the gas giants.
The full name of the Kuiper Belt is the Edgeworth-Kuiper Belt. It is named for the astronomers Kenneth Edgeworth and Gerard Kuiper. The Kuiper Belt is a region of the Earths solar system that is found beyond the planets. It extends from the orbit of Neptune.

Planetoid is another name for an asteroid. See the related link for more information.

The asteroid belt is a region in the solar system between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter where almost all the asteroids are concentrated. This region looks like a belt, or a ring around the Sun.

The "Asteroid Belt" is the name we give to the region between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter. Saturn's orbit is about 83% larger than Jupiter's.
