How Was The Asteroid Belt Formed? #shorts

During the solar system's formation, an accretion disk between Mars and Jupiter could have given rise to a fifth rocky planet. However, Jupiter's gravitational pull disturbed the matter that would have formed the planet, and much of it was ejected from the solar system. At the same time, the other part moved at high speed and collided with each other instead of joining to form a single Planet. As a result, the asteroid belt that exists today was formed, which is not the remains of a planet that exploded, but the fragments of one that never formed.

and then there's Ceres -- the buckle on the Asteroid Belt!

Wow. Just wow. I thought it formed in a completely different way.

The asteroid belt was formed by the planet called Phaeton so there was a gas giant called Krypton and Jupiter was on the other side but in the middle of them was Phaeton and the gravitational pull distorted the planet giving way to the asteroid belt and that disturbed Borealis’ orbit causing it to collide into mars and Planet V fell out of its orbit and later on Jupiter and Saturn ejected Krypton out of the solar system and Planet V disintegrated and overcrowded the asteroid belt
