(a) where is the asteroid belt located? (b) explain why there are gaps in the orbital distances from the sun.

The asteroid belt is located between Mars and Jupiter. The gaps in orbital distances are due to the local gravitational effects of the planets and the solar wind from the sun. Evidence of this can be found by observing that gasses were blown further from the sun than heavy elements like that found on Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars. Each planet had drawn in via gravity the surrounding material leaving gaps between the planets.

There is no graph to look at on here, but i shall explain them to you. a line graph is just in its title it’s a graph with a line running through the dots to show an increase or decrease. a bar graph is used to show how much or how little something is so a comparison. a scatter plot is used to graph points to tell the data. and i don’t know what a histogram is.
