Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Asteroids, sometimes called minor planets, are rocky remnants left over from the early formation of our solar system about 4.6 billion years ago. 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.
