The most likely explanation for the Asteroid Belt between Mars and Jupiter; is that the gravitational pull of the two planet prevented another planter from forming between.
Another possible explanation is that the Asteroid Belt Was once a small planet that was smashed to bits by a big comet or meteor. The debris from that destroyed small planet became the Asteroid Belt.
