Explanation:

1. Analyze "Most asteroids are made of ice, dust, and gas": The text says asteroids are typically made of rock or metal, so this is false.
2. Analyze "The asteroid belt is located between the orbits of Jupiter and Saturn": The asteroid belt is between Mars and Jupiter, so this is false.
3. Analyze "Some asteroids are greater than 1,000 kilometers in diameter": The text says asteroids range up to 530 km in diameter, so this is false.
4. Analyze "Asteroids in the solar system orbit the Sun": As part of the solar system, asteroids orbit the Sun, so this is true.
