The orbits of many asteroids were calculated and few asteroids were found to have an eccentricity less than 0.03. A difficullty therefore arises in that the understanding of the origin of the asteroid belt depends on knowledge of the original orbits of the asteroids, which have been distributed for millions of years by the gravity field of Jupiter. Further calculations show, however, that few asteroid orbits could possibly remain with an eccentricity lower than 0.03 due to the evolution of the longitude of perihelion and the influence of Jupiter. The results are extended to show that the two groups of hundreds of asteroids whose orbits have a semimajor axis at 3.15 AU could have originated from two separate parent bodies.
