The asteroid belt is a torus-shaped region in the Solar System, centered on the Sun and roughly spanning the space between the orbits of the planets Jupiter and Mars ...
The asteroid and comet belts orbit the Sun from the inner rocky planets into outer parts of the Solar System, interstellar space. [16] [17] [18] An astronomical unit, or AU, is the distance from Earth to the Sun, which is approximately 150 billion meters (93 million miles). [19]

Scientists from the Universidad Complutense de Madrid have tracked the asteroid's orbit for 21 days and determined its future path. 2024 PT5 is from the Arjuna asteroid belt, which orbits the sun ...
This is a secondary asteroid belt in the Solar System surrounding the path followed by the Earth-Moon system. In some previous cases, asteroids anticipated to become Earth’s mini-moons have ...
The impactor likely formed in the outer solar system before migrating to the asteroid belt. A team of researchers think they know the origin of a massive space rock that hit Earth and killed off ...

The asteroid belt is the smallest and innermost known circumstellar disc in the Solar System. About 60% of the main belt mass is contained in the four largest asteroids: Ceres, Vesta, Pallas, and Hygiea. The total mass of the asteroid belt is estimated to be 3% that of the Moon
