There is actually less mass left in the asteroid belt than is in any single terrestrial planet, so there's no longer much opportunity for accretion to happen, since it is so empty in general.įor Saturn, the picture is actually quite complicated, and I doubt I can answer it better than it's answered here:Īs you can see from that link, accretion does still happen in the Solar System, but not in the full-fledged way that it did near the Solar System's beginnings. The asteroid belt presumably could have accreted into a larger body during the early history of the Solar System, but may very well have been disrupted by Jupiter's gravity, which tugs on certain parts of the asteroid belt more strongly than others over time, emptying those parts out. Planets and moons seem to have accreted very quickly (in astronomical terms) early in the history of the Solar System, and so if accretion in the asteroid belt hasn't produced a planet yet, and accretion in Saturn's rings hasn't produced another moon yet, it probably means that it isn't going to happen at all, or it would have already.
