6 Why isn't there a planet where the asteroid belt is located? A The temperature in this portion of the solar nebula was just right to prevent rock from sticking together. B C D There was too much rocky material to form a terrestrial planet, but not enough gaseous material to form a jovian planet. There was not enough material in this part of the solar nebula to form a planet. Gravitational tugs from Jupiter prevented material from collecting together to form a planet.
