The asteroid belt located between the orbits of
mars and Jupiter is a wide belt of material
orbiting the sun that contains perhaps millions
of asteroid.

ceres an asteroid recently upgraded to dwarf
planet is also found here in asteroid belt
these asteroid are spread out over such a
large swath of space that a spacecraft
travelling through the belt would rarely
encounter one. they tend to collect in orbiting
group separated from one another by a
significant gap called Kirkwood gaps which are
caused by gravitational force of Jupiter
