In old texts it was believed that the asteroid belt was the remains of a planet that got torn apart by either a massive impact or the gravitational attraction of Jupiter and the Sun.
Nowadays it is firmly agreed that the asteroid belt is a primitive remainder of the early accretion disc and a planet didn't form because of the gravitational attraction of Jupiter and the Sun.
