The belt of small rocky objects in the solar system is primarily known as the asteroid belt. It is located between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter and contains a vast number of asteroids, ranging in size from small boulders to dwarf planets. These objects are remnants from the early solar system that never coalesced into a full planet. Another notable region containing smaller rocky bodies is the Kuiper Belt, located beyond Neptune, which includes icy objects and dwarf planets like Pluto.
