Q. Asteroids have their orbits between the planets

Explanation by: Mr. Dubey

Asteroids are rocky objects that orbit the Sun, primarily found in the Asteroid Belt, which lies between Mars and Jupiter.

This region contains millions of asteroids, ranging in size from tiny rocks to Ceres, the largest asteroid (which is also classified as a dwarf planet).

The gravity of Jupiter prevents these asteroids from forming a planet.


Other Options Explained:

(A) Jupiter & Saturn – This region has Trojan asteroids, but the main asteroid belt is not here.

(B) Mercury & Venus – No significant asteroid belt in this region.

(C) Earth & Mars – Some asteroids come close to Earth (Near-Earth Asteroids), but the main belt is beyond Mars.


Thus, the correct answer is (D) Mars & Jupiter.
