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.
