The asteroid belt lies between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter and is primarily attracted by the gravitational pull of the Sun. The Sun's gravity influences the motion of the asteroids within the belt, keeping them in relatively stable orbits.

Mars is not in the asteroid belt. The Asteroid Belt is between Mars and Jupiter.
The second asteroid named after Elicott Douglass is 6052 Icarion.
An asteroid is a small rocky body that orbits the sun, while an asteroid belt is a region in our solar system located between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter where many asteroids are found. The asteroid belt is like a "belt" of smaller objects orbiting the sun, with the largest asteroid being Ceres.
There's gravity, momentum, centripetal force, and friction involved.

That's right; Ceres is the largest asteroid.

The asteroid missed the Earth's atmosphere by inches.We will begin asteroid mining soon.
If there is an atmosphere, the light will gradually dim as the asteroid approaches the asteroid.

The density of an asteroid differs.

Isaac Newton says, "An object in motion remains in motion, unless acted upon by an outside force." There is no friction in space to act on the motion of a planet, & the force of gravity is constant. The answer is no, not unless a foreign object, (such as a comet, asteroid, etc.) strikes the planet with enough force to alter it's orbit.
TO get into the asteroid castle you have to complete the puzzle on the door.
