'''The Asteroid Belt
The Asteroid Belt' is a region of the Solar System located between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter. It contains a large population of rocky bodies of varying sizes and compositions.
The asteroid belt is discussed in planetary science, celestial mechanics, and studies of solar system formation.
Status
The asteroid belt has been observed telescopically for centuries and studied through spacecraft missions. Models of its origin, mass distribution, and dynamical evolution continue to be developed.
