Asteroid belt
The asteroid belt is a torus-shaped region in the Solar System, centered on the Sun and roughly spanning the space between the orbits of the planets Jupiter and Mars. It contains a great many solid, irregularly shaped bodies called asteroids or minor planets. The identified objects are of many sizes, but much smaller than planets, and, on average, are about one million kilometers (or six hundred thousand miles) apart. The asteroid belt is the smallest and innermost known circumstellar disc in the Solar System. About 60% of the main belt mass is contained in the four largest asteroids: Ceres, Vesta, Pallas, and Hygiea. The total mass of the asteroid belt is estimated to be 3% that of the Moon.

Demoted in 2020 once Ceres lost FA status, the article has since gotten its star back, so there are no impediments for a restoration. --igordebraga ≠ 17:11, 24 January 2024 (UTC)
