Is it possible for an asteroid belt to form around a sun?

Is it possible for an asteroid belt to form around a sun? Think of our asteroid belt, but instead of where it is now, it would be where Mercury is.

Also, and I didn't have enough room to put this in the title, but what effect would this have on the solar system? How would this affect eclipses, astronomy, etc.?
