Asteroid families represent the outcomes of major collisional events in the asteroid Main Belt. These events produced in some cases huge numbers of fragments, down to sizes of at least 1 km in diameter. In this paper we show that these families produce a significant increase in the "local" collision

If a planetary-mass body were present in the asteroid belt, the orbits of the terrestrial planets and those of the giant planets would be more closely coupled. A greater exchange of angular momentum could affect the stability of the terrestrial planets. Moreover, the planet in the asteroid belt coul
