An asteroid belt is the region of a star system which is occupied by asteroids. Earth's asteroid belt was located between Mars and Jupiter, formerly the site of the orbit of Planet 5. (DW: Image of the Fendahl) During the Great Breakout of 5000, many frontiersmen and pioneers were concentrated in the asteroid belt while waiting to spread out in the Galaxy. (DW: The Invisible Enemy)

Wikipedia has a more detailed and comprehensive article on

Asteroid belt

Memory Beta, the wiki for licensed Star Trek content.

An asteroid belt is a field of small celestial bodies, usually of metallic composition, which form an elliptical pattern in orbit around a star. An asteroid belt may be formed either when, during the origin of a star system, interstellar matter fails to coallesce into a planet, or else a planet for some reason breaks apart into smaller bodies.

An asteroid belt circles Sol between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter. Circa 2179, the USS Benjamin Franklin defeated a fleet of pirate vessels in Sol's asteroid belt, in what was knownas as the Battle of the Belt. (TNG novel: The Haunted Starship)
