A new expansion for the gravitational potential of the asteroid belt is derived in this paper on the basis of binomial expansions. Its advantages are: (1)the unified form both for the inner and for the outer regions of the belt; (2)suitability for discussing the motions of the celestial bodies with perihelions within but apohelions beyond the belt; (3)rapidity of convergence.

The perturbations due to the asteroid belt are studied by using our expansion.
