The asteroid belt is a region located between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter, where numerous small rocky objects called asteroids orbit the Sun. These asteroids range in size from small boulders to dwarf planets like Ceres. The asteroid belt is significant as it provides insights into the early history of the Solar System and the processes involved in planet formation. It is also a source of meteorites that occasionally reach Earth.
