The largest asteroid ever recorded is Ceres, which is also classified as a dwarf planet due to its size and characteristics. Ceres is located in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter and makes up about one-third of the belt's total mass.

The largest asteroid used to be Ceres. Although it is in the asteroid belt, it is a sphere shape and is now a dwarf planet not an asteroid. It is 620 miles in diameter and contains nearly a third of all the mass of the asteroid belt combined. The new largest asteroid is Vesta at 530 miles mean diameter it has only 9% of the mass in the asteroid belt. While being considered for dwarf planet-hood, a mass below guidelines for hydrostatic equilibrium, and a large crater on the south pole breaking its spheroid shape have so far kept it off the list.

The largest asteroid is the dwarf planet Ceres. If dwarf planets are not counted, then the next largest is Pallas (by size) or Vesta (by mass).
