If Jupiter were to disappear would the asteroids be pulled toward the sun?

@IKeepItReal4U I think the more likely senario they coalese together and form a new planet, since the presence of Jupiter stopped them doing so in the first place..

@KurdstanPlanetarium Do you believe that Jupiter's gravity prohibited the asteroid belt from forming into a planet? Or do you think it was a fully formed planet that Jupiter could not save from comet impact? Or did the Martians just blow it up, heh. I wish the belt was the fifth planet in the system, because walking on Jupiter wouldn't work out so well.

@DysphemisticOptimist thanx for your interest...the current theory about the Asteroit belt is that its left over remains of the planetesimals that could not form a planet due to its proximity to Jupiter, so yes you are right jupiter does play the part here as it continuously perturbs their oribts and change them...others belive it was a planet and blew up for one reason or another...even some went to belive that was an inhabited planet at war and annahilated itself in a neuclear war...who knows?
