F. Good & bad science

1. Did the ”fifth” planet in our solar system create the asteroid belt?

Answer: False

From sv- wikipedia ”Förr i tiden trodde man att asteroidbältet var resterna efter en

planet eller måne som hade kolliderat eller krossats. Den uppfattningen har de

flesta inte längre, för om man lägger ihop alla asteroiders massor så blir diametern

på ”klumpen” väldigt liten i förhållande till en vanlig planet.

Man tror numera att asteroiderna och stenarna är byggmaterial till en himlakropp

som aldrig blev något. Orsaken är att när solsystemet bildades så låg all materia

som en skiva för att sedan "klumpa ihop sig". Klumparna blev senare planeter, men

asteroidbältet drogs mellan solens och Jupiters dragningskraft, vilket gjorde att

klumparna inte blev planeter”
