Question

What is the distance between the asteroid belt and the sun?

Answer 1

Using average distances, the asteroid belt extends from Mars' 1.52 AU to Jupiter's 5.33 AU.

Explanation:

Like Mars, these star-fish-like rock- orbiters of Sun might come close to the Earth by even 0.5 AU distance from our planet. The chance of an asteroid hitting Earth is very small, perhaps 1 in 2.5 millions.
