what is found between mars and jupiter

Between Mars and Jupiter, there is the main asteroid belt. This region is filled with a vast number of small rocky bodies called asteroids or minor planets. The majority of known asteroids orbit the Sun in this belt. Astronomers estimate that there are between 1.1 million to 1.9 million asteroids with diameters of 1 kilometer or more in this area, with many smaller ones as well. The combined mass of all these asteroids would only amount to about 4 percent of the Moon's mass, so they cannot form a planet. The four largest bodies in this belt—Ceres, Vesta, Pallas, and Hygiea—contain about half of the belt's mass. Ceres is notable as a dwarf planet within the belt. This asteroid belt marks a torus-shaped region of the Solar System between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter where these numerous solid, irregularly shaped bodies orbit. The belt spans roughly between 2.1 and 3.3 astronomical units from the Sun. The asteroids are spread out so that spacecraft can pass through without much risk of collision. Thus, what is found between Mars and Jupiter is primarily this extensive belt of asteroids, with no full-sized planet, but many rocky remnants from the early Solar System.
