The Asteroid Belt is a ring of asteroids located between Jupiter and Mars. One explanation for the asteroid belt is that there was a planet, but it got destroyed and became the Asteroid Belt. There are over 100,000 asteroids in the belt. These asteroids can range from over 1,000 km. to just pebbles. Vesta, Hygeia, and V. Cerulli are some asteroids.
