While Mars was formed in a colder environment (since the asteroid belt is further from the sun), it was only there for a few million years before migrating to its current location.

Asteroid Belt May Be Just One Big Melting Pot Of Space Rocks : The Two-Way New research shows that a planetary reshuffle might have shaped the ring of rubble between Mars and Jupiter.

Earth and Mars are very different planets right now, but they're both small, rocky planets in the inner solar system. However, a new study suggests Mars may also have different origins than Earth.

The asteroid belt is the ring-shaped disc consisting of irregular small bodies called asteroids located between Mars and Jupiter. I have studied the origins of the asteroid belt in the the solar ...

The asteroid belt is a ring of debris that exists between Mars and Jupiter. What caused it to form — and will it ever become a planet? Skip to content.

Mars is much closer to the asteroid belt–our solar system’s main reservoir of rocky debris–than Earth. Of course something closer to the source would encounter more strays.

Most meteorites that have reached Earth come from the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter. But we have 1,000 or so ...

A new "main-belt comet" — a comet-like object masquerading as an asteroid in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter — has been identified, bringing the tally of these beguiling objects up ...

If Mars formed in the asteroid belt, it would have encountered many objects smaller than itself. Simulations indicate that Mars would have grown to its current size in five to 10 million years ...
