Is it true that the asteroid belt is located between Mars and Jupiter?
Yes. Multiple reference and peer-reviewed sources state that the asteroid belt (main belt) lies between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter. One astronomy Q&A quotes the same location while noting the 'roughly' qualifier and definitional debate.
