Asteroids formed at the same time as the Earth
Scientific literature regarding the early solar system consistently indicates that asteroids and the Earth formed contemporaneously during the accretion period of the inner solar system.
The retrieved papers generally support the scientific consensus that asteroids, chondrites, and the terrestrial planets formed during the early stages of Solar System history.
