Detailed explanation-1: -Most of this ancient space rubble can be found orbiting our Sun between Mars and Jupiter within the main asteroid belt .
Detailed explanation-2: -In the region between Mars and Jupiter, it appears that one or more planets could have formed, but the gravity from Jupiter kept pulling things apart. Instead of forming a single planet, the material in this region was only ever able to form into asteroid-sized objects.
Detailed explanation-3: -A region between Mars and Jupiter became the asteroid belt. Occasionally people wonder whether the belt was made up of the remains of a destroyed planet, or a world that didn’t quite get started. However, according to NASA, the total mass of the belt is less than the moon, far too small to weigh in as a planet.
