Answer 2

• The asteroid belt is a torus-shaped area in the Solar System that is about halfway between Jupiter's and Mars' orbits.
• It is home to a large number of asteroids, or minor planets, which are solid, irregularly shaped bodies of various sizes but far smaller than planets.
• To distinguish it from other asteroid populations in the Solar System, such as near-Earth asteroids and trojan asteroids, this asteroid belt is sometimes termed the main asteroid belt or main belt.
• The asteroid belt is the Solar System's smallest and deepest circumstellar disc.
• Ceres, Vesta, Pallas, and Hygiea, the four biggest asteroids, hold around half of the planet's mass.
• The asteroid belt's total mass is around 4% of the Moon's.
