The Asteroid Belt is between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter. "Asteroid" means "star-like object," and that is what they appear like when viewed through a telescope. But of course, they are not anything like stars. "Minor Planet" is the more appropriate alternate name, as they do orbit the sun, much like the other planets. They vary in size from a few meters to hundreds of kilometers. Ceres, the largest minor planet, and the first to be discovered (by Giuseppe Piazzi, in 1801), is spherical and 940 km in diameter. Smaller minor planets are irregular in shape. Here is a list of the 20 largest minor planets (The first number shows the order in which they were discovered)

Does the oort cloud go between mars and Jupiter?
No, the Oort Cloud is a spherical region of icy objects that lies far beyond the orbit of Neptune, extending out to about halfway to the nearest star. It is not located between Mars and Jupiter, which is where the asteroid belt is found.
Is Mars located inside or outside of the Asteroid Belt?
Mars is located outside of the Asteroid Belt. The Asteroid Belt is located between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter and is primarily made up of rocky objects known as asteroids. Mars is the fourth planet from the Sun, beyond the Asteroid Belt.
Is Jupiter a inside or outside planet?
Jupiter is an outside planet. It is located beyond the orbit of Mars, making it one of the outermost planets in our solar system.
Is Pluto a dwarf planet found between mars and Jupiter?
No, Pluto is not located between Mars and Jupiter. It is a dwarf planet located in the outer region of our solar system, beyond the orbit of Neptune. The region where Pluto is located is known as the Kuiper Belt.
How many planets orbit around Mars?
No planets orbit around Mars. There are two moons that orbit around Mars.

Jupiter is an outside planet. It is located beyond the orbit of Mars, making it one of the outermost planets in our solar system.
What are located between the orbit of mars and Jupiter?
The asteroids.
Is mar in the inside or the outside of the asteroid belt?
The asteroid belt is beyond the orbit of Mars.
What is located beyond mars and the next planet?
Saturn
Where are the outer plants located?
Beyond the asteroid belt after Mars.
What planet is located just inside the orbit of the asteroid belt?
Mars
Which objects are located between the orbit of mars an Jupiter?
the asteriod belt
What planets are the asteroid belt located in?
The Asteroid Belt is located in between the orbit of Mars and Jupiter.
Is Pluto a dwarf planet found between mars and Jupiter?
No, Pluto is not located between Mars and Jupiter. It is a dwarf planet located in the outer region of our solar system, beyond the orbit of Neptune. The region where Pluto is located is known as the Kuiper Belt.
Is the closest planet to Jupiter mars or Saturn?
The orbit of Jupiter is closer to Mars' orbit than to Saturn's orbit. Mars = 1.52AU Jupiter = 5.20AU Saturn = 9.54AU Having said that, the positions of the planets are always changing as the planets orbit the sun at different rates. Mars is the closest planet to Jupiter as of February 2011, but this is not always the case.
