This belongs in the ca.earthquakes.astronomy thread... About halfway
between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter (if you ask what those are you
better be into spankings) is a collection of rocks ranging in size from a
couple of hundred miles across to pebbles and dust. They orbit the sun in
a continuous belt at the place where humans' built-in pattern-recognition
algorithm expects to see another planet. It is likely that big Jupiter's
gravity prevents a planet from forming there. 

But there are asteroids all over the place, though in far fewer numbers.
Some even cross Earth's orbit once in a while. A small number (some number
of tons each year?) become meteors and meteorites.
