There is a wide range in the distance that asteroids have from the sun based on their orbits. The majority of asteroids are located in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter, which is approximately 2.2 to 3.2 astronomical units (AU) away from the sun. However, some asteroids have orbits that take them closer to the sun than others.
