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.

An asteroid belt is a region in space between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter that is filled with thousands of asteroids, which are rocky and metallic objects left over from the early formation of the solar system. These asteroids vary in size from small rocky fragments to large bodies hundreds of kilometers wide. The largest asteroid in the belt is Ceres, which is classified as a dwarf planet.
