In Solar system, most 'Asteroids' lie between the orbits of the following planets :

  • A.Mars and Jupiter
  • B.Jupiter and Saturn
  • C.Earth and Mars
  • D.Venus and Earth

Answer: A

Most asteroids lie between Mars and Jupiter.

The main asteroid belt occupies the gap between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter, roughly 2.2 to 3.3 astronomical units from the Sun. Ceres, the largest body in it, is classed as a dwarf planet.

Some asteroids cross the orbits of the inner planets, and others share Jupiter's orbit, but the great majority are in the main belt, so the other pairs are wrong.
