19. Would we be able to see the asteroid belt if we were on Pluto? (A K2S Question)
From The Space Library
No. The asteroid belt, which is between the planets Mars and Jupiter, is ten times closer to the Sun than Pluto and the asteroids are very small, so they would be lost in the glare of the Sun.
