What relationship does the asteroid belt and the sun have?
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.
What is massive asteroid?
a rather large asteroid
Is Mars located in the asteroid belt?

Do planets change their patterns?
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.
