Asteroids are found between the orbits of

Asteroids are primarily found in the region between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter in our solar system, a region known as the asteroid belt. This vast expanse, situated roughly 2.1 to 3.3 astronomical units (AU) from the Sun, is home to a large population of irregularly shaped rocky bodies. These asteroids vary in size, composition, and orbital characteristics. While the majority of asteroids reside in the asteroid belt, some may have orbits that bring them closer to Earth. However, the asteroid belt remains a key zone for the study of these remnants from the early solar system.
