Hi!Most of these objects, called planetoids or asteroids meaning "star-like" orbit between Mars and Jupiter in a grouping known as the Main Asteroid Belt.

Answer:

Main Asteroid Belt: The majority of known asteroids orbit within the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter, generally with not very elongated orbits. The belt is estimated to contain between 1.1 and 1.9 million asteroids larger than 1 kilometer (0.6 mile) in diameter, and millions of smaller ones.
