I have not heard that, but logically that doesn't sound right so I tend to think that is wrong.
The asteroid belt is made up of millions of particles. Since the asteroid belt is thousands of miles long and wide that would have made the planet 100 times the size of Jupiter at least maybe even larger.
A cataclysmic event of unthinkable magnitude would have had to have happed to break apart a world that size into that many pieces. As a result, an event that large, would surely rip the planets moons apart as well as the planets surrounding that planet

I am researching this question now. I read that there was a planet there and Mars plus one more moon around it. The planet disintegrated and left the two moons rotating around each other. Later the other moon disintegrated and left mars going around our sun as a planet. We now have a space probe heading to-ward a new tiny planet that may be the lost sister moon to Mars Its size would be right as a sister moon. The next prove that I have is that Mars is way out of size with the rest of the planets. In comparison to earth, Mars is about 1/3 its size and .107 its mass. If Mars was a planet to start with, it would be at least two masses of earth. That is if it was a rock planet like the first four planets. If that planet was a gas one then its size would be many time that of earth.

I have both heard and believed that. Now I am not sure. I believe in science and they claim that everything in the solar system was formed around the same time and the asteroid belt is leftovers. However, since there is no proof, the theory that there was a planet where the asteroid belt is now is just as plausible. It's in the right spot, isn't it?

NO!once there was a planet between mars and jupiter.In the time of dinosaurs some scientist said that dinosaurs are being extinct because of meteor rain.It only explains that the planet between mars and jupiter explode and its some parts have been thrown to the earth i the time of dinosaurs.

Im not sure about that but I do know its possible that Mars is Earth's sister planet, and that they may have been rotating around each other until one of them was knocked out of the balance by a large metior, like one of the many on Mars' surface or on Earth.

There is no possible way. If there were such a planet in the asteroid belt we would have discovered it long ago.

Sorry, but anyone, including scientists, that tells you stuff like that is only expressing an idea, best-guess scenario, or hypothesis.
The fact is, nobody has PROOF of anything. Bottom line is, NOBODY actually knows. They would LOVE it if you believed them.
