The main asteroid belt is a region in space located between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter, containing a vast number of rocky bodies known as asteroids. It is thought to be remnants from the early solar system that never coalesced into a planet due to the gravitational influence of Jupiter. This belt is home to millions of asteroids, varying in size from small boulders to objects hundreds of kilometers in diameter, such as Ceres, the largest asteroid. The main asteroid belt plays a crucial role in understanding the formation and evolution of our solar system.
The main asteroid belt is actually called the asteroid belt - pretty dull really.

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.
1411 Brauna (1937 AM) is a main-belt asteroid discovered on January 8, 1937.
No. There are other asteroid belts besides the main asteroid belt in our solar system. Also, there are asteroids outside our solar system.

Ceres is the largest object in the asteroid belt.
Asteroids. There are many thousand in the Main Belt that occupies an empty orbit between Mars and Jupiter. The largest asteroid, Ceres, has been classified as a "dwarf planet" and contains about 1/3 of the total mass of asteroids in the Main Belt.
The asteroid belt is sometimes referred to as the "main belt," while the Kuiper belt is also known as the "Edgeworth-Kuiper belt."
No. The main belt is between Mars and Jupiter.

The planet Mars orbits immediately closer to the Sun than the Asteroid Belt. The so-called "main belt" has many millions of asteroids, the remnants of a failed planetoid that might have formed between Mars and Jupiter.Mars. The asteroid belt lies between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter.
Our moon is not in the asteroid belt. No planet's moon is in the asteroid belt or it would not be a moon.
