Asteroids originate in a belt located between the planets Mars and Jupiter. This region is known as the asteroid belt and is composed of thousands of small rocky objects that orbit the Sun. Some asteroids may also come from beyond the asteroid belt in regions known as trojan asteroids or from beyond our solar system, but the majority of them originate in the asteroid belt.
