What is the distance between the asteroid belt and the sun?
Leah AbbateUsing average distances, the asteroid belt extends from Mars' 1.52 AU to Jupiter's 5.33 AU.
The chance of an asteroid hitting Earth is very small, maybe 1 in 2.5 million. Like Mars, these star-fish-like rock-orbiters of the Sun could get as close to our planet as 0.5 AU.

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
