There is evidence that <a href="/facts/Emanuel_Swedenborg/QE3Pcl8U">Emanuel Swedenborg</a> first proposed parts of the nebular theory in 1734.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:7" href="#fn:7">7</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:8" href="#fn:8">8</a> <a href="/facts/Immanuel_Kant/vIxjdy6I">Immanuel Kant</a>, familiar with Swedenborg's work, developed the theory further in 1755, publishing his own <a href="/facts/Universal_Natural_History_and_Theory_of_the_Heavens/DDTxuBhl">Universal Natural History and Theory of the Heavens</a>, wherein he argued that gaseous clouds (<a href="/facts/Nebulae/hG6coklY">nebulae</a>) slowly rotate, gradually collapse and flatten due to <a href="/facts/Gravity/bqAN7DdQ">gravity</a>, eventually forming <a href="/facts/Star/PFbd6ICx">stars</a> and <a href="/facts/Planet/rbPjE6Bx">planets</a>.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:9" href="#fn:9">9</a>
<a href="/facts/Pierre-Simon_Laplace/6ktp0txb">Pierre-Simon Laplace</a> independently developed and proposed a similar model in 1796<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:10" href="#fn:10">10</a> in his Exposition du systeme du monde. He envisioned that the Sun originally had an extended hot atmosphere throughout the volume of the Solar System. His theory featured a contracting and cooling protosolar cloud—the protosolar nebula. As this cooled and contracted, it flattened and spun more rapidly, throwing off (or shedding) a series of gaseous rings of material; and according to him, the planets condensed from this material. His model was similar to Kant's, except more detailed and on a smaller scale.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:11" href="#fn:11">11</a> While the Laplacian nebular model dominated in the 19th century, it encountered a number of difficulties. The main problem involved <a href="/facts/Angular_momentum/7TuSVFxq">angular momentum</a> distribution between the Sun and planets. The planets have 99% of the angular momentum, and this fact could not be explained by the nebular model.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:12" href="#fn:12">12</a> As a result, astronomers largely abandoned this theory of planet formation at the beginning of the 20th century.
According to some, a major critique came during the 19th century from <a href="/facts/James_Clerk_Maxwell/jtYyze61">James Clerk Maxwell</a> (1831–1879), who in some sources is claimed to have maintained that different rotation between the inner and outer parts of a ring could not allow condensation of material.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:13" href="#fn:13">13</a> However, both the critique and the attribution to Maxwell have been deemed to be incorrect upon further investigation, with the original error being made by <a href="/facts/George_Gamow/n79Pqk8R">George Gamow</a> in some popular publications and propagated continually ever since.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:14" href="#fn:14">14</a> Astronomer <a href="/facts/Sir_David_Brewster/n8YgnRBx">Sir David Brewster</a> also rejected Laplace, writing in 1876 that "those who believe in the Nebular Theory consider it as certain that our Earth derived its solid matter and its atmosphere from a ring thrown from the Solar atmosphere, which afterwards contracted into a solid terraqueous sphere, from which the Moon was thrown off by the same process". He argued that under such view, "the Moon must necessarily have carried off water and air from the watery and aerial parts of the Earth and must have an atmosphere".<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:15" href="#fn:15">15</a> Brewster claimed that <a href="/facts/Sir_Isaac_Newton/4L7gTncN">Sir Isaac Newton</a>'s religious beliefs had previously considered nebular ideas as tending to atheism, and quoted him as saying that "the growth of new systems out of old ones, without the mediation of a Divine power, seemed to him apparently absurd".<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:16" href="#fn:16">16</a>
The perceived deficiencies of the Laplacian model stimulated scientists to find a replacement for it. During the 20th century many theories addressed the issue, including the planetesimal theory of <a href="/facts/Thomas_Chrowder_Chamberlin/mhh8CHcl">Thomas Chamberlin</a> and <a href="/facts/Forest_Ray_Moulton/YnL0kIU5">Forest Moulton</a> (1901), the tidal model of <a href="/facts/James_Jeans/fFbJttMj">James Jeans</a> (1917), the accretion model of <a href="/facts/Otto_Schmidt/adRn72gU">Otto Schmidt</a> (1944), the protoplanet theory of <a href="/facts/William_McCrea_(astronomer)/un4dxfgv">William McCrea</a> (1960) and finally the capture theory of <a href="/facts/Michael_Woolfson/RmAVG1Hq">Michael Woolfson</a>.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:17" href="#fn:17">17</a> In 1978 <a href="/facts/Andrew_Prentice/B98daDJv">Andrew Prentice</a> resurrected the initial Laplacian ideas about planet formation and developed the modern Laplacian theory.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:18" href="#fn:18">18</a> None of these attempts proved completely successful, and many of the proposed theories were descriptive.
The birth of the modern widely accepted theory of planetary formation—the solar nebular disk model (SNDM)—can be traced to the Soviet astronomer <a href="/facts/Victor_Safronov/H3VECzCb">Victor Safronov</a>.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:19" href="#fn:19">19</a> His 1969 book Evolution of the protoplanetary cloud and formation of the Earth and the planets,<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:20" href="#fn:20">20</a> which was translated to English in 1972, had a long-lasting effect on the way scientists think about the formation of the planets.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:21" href="#fn:21">21</a> In this book almost all major problems of the planetary formation process were formulated and some of them solved. Safronov's ideas were further developed in the works of <a href="/facts/George_Wetherill/BgMad067">George Wetherill</a>, who discovered <a href="/facts/Accretion_(astrophysics)/atcWRsDP">runaway accretion</a>.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:22" href="#fn:22">22</a> While originally applied only to the <a href="/facts/Solar_System/QIcLSazQ">Solar System</a>, the SNDM was subsequently thought by theorists to be at work throughout the Universe; as of 17 April 2025 astronomers have discovered 5,943 <a href="/facts/Extrasolar_planet/zjfmqfUf">extrasolar planets</a> in our <a href="/facts/Galaxy/zCyUvEf7">galaxy</a>.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:23" href="#fn:23">23</a>

<h3>Achievements</h3>

The star formation process naturally results in the appearance of <a href="/facts/Accretion_disk/8zJXshat">accretion disks</a> around young stellar objects.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:24" href="#fn:24">24</a> At the age of about 1 million years, 100% of stars may have such disks.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:25" href="#fn:25">25</a> This conclusion is supported by the discovery of the gaseous and dusty disks around <a href="/facts/Protostar/fhQYMSBA">protostars</a> and <a href="/facts/T_Tauri_star/vX5WL56u">T Tauri stars</a> as well as by theoretical considerations.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:26" href="#fn:26">26</a> Observations of these disks show that the <a href="/facts/Dust/vaNKP8wk">dust</a> grains inside them grow in size on short (thousand-year) time scales, producing 1 centimeter sized particles.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:27" href="#fn:27">27</a>
The accretion process, by which 1 km <a href="/facts/Planetesimal/PK60dofs">planetesimals</a> grow into 1,000 km sized bodies, is well understood now.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:28" href="#fn:28">28</a> This process develops inside any disk where the number density of planetesimals is sufficiently high, and proceeds in a runaway manner. Growth later slows and continues as oligarchic accretion. The end result is formation of <a href="/facts/Planetary_embryo/syFmx3ku">planetary embryos</a> of varying sizes, which depend on the distance from the star.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:29" href="#fn:29">29</a> Various simulations have demonstrated that the merger of embryos in the inner part of the protoplanetary disk leads to the formation of a few Earth-sized bodies. Thus the origin of <a href="/facts/Terrestrial_planet/jpMC1ULt">terrestrial planets</a> is now considered to be an almost solved problem.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:30" href="#fn:30">30</a>

<h3>Current issues</h3>
The physics of accretion disks encounters some problems.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:31" href="#fn:31">31</a> The most important one is how the material, which is accreted by the protostar, loses its <a href="/facts/Angular_momentum/7TuSVFxq">angular momentum</a>. One possible explanation suggested by <a href="/facts/Hannes_Alfv%25C3%25A9n/Nh7SvJNG">Hannes Alfvén</a> was that angular momentum was shed by the solar wind during its <a href="/facts/T_Tauri_star/vX5WL56u">T Tauri star</a> phase. The momentum is transported to the outer parts of the disk by viscous stresses.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:32" href="#fn:32">32</a> Viscosity is generated by macroscopic turbulence, but the precise mechanism that produces this turbulence is not well understood. Another possible process for shedding angular momentum is <a href="/facts/Magnetic_braking_(astronomy)/pCcYRYTl">magnetic braking</a>, where the spin of the star is transferred into the surrounding disk via that star's magnetic field.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:33" href="#fn:33">33</a> The main processes responsible for the disappearance of the gas in disks are viscous diffusion and photo-evaporation.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:34" href="#fn:34">34</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:35" href="#fn:35">35</a>

The formation of planetesimals is the biggest unsolved problem in the nebular disk model. How 1 cm sized particles coalesce into 1 km planetesimals is a mystery. This mechanism appears to be the key to the question as to why some stars have planets, while others have nothing around them, not even <a href="/facts/Debris_disk/ClIxTnge">dust belts</a>.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:36" href="#fn:36">36</a>
The formation timescale of <a href="/facts/Giant_planet/PjSfFuUF">giant planets</a> is also an important problem. Old theories were unable to explain how their cores could form fast enough to accumulate significant amounts of gas from the quickly disappearing protoplanetary disk.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:37" href="#fn:37">37</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:38" href="#fn:38">38</a> The mean lifetime of the disks, which is less than ten million (107) years, appeared to be shorter than the time necessary for the core formation.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:39" href="#fn:39">39</a> Much progress has been done to solve this problem and current models of giant planet formation are now capable of forming <a href="/facts/Jupiter/95m7XjMT">Jupiter</a> (or more massive planets) in about 4 million years or less, well within the average lifetime of gaseous disks.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:40" href="#fn:40">40</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:41" href="#fn:41">41</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:42" href="#fn:42">42</a>
Another potential problem of giant planet formation is their <a href="/facts/Planetary_migration/rH6cEwNR">orbital migration</a>. Some calculations show that interaction with the disk can cause rapid inward migration, which, if not stopped, results in the planet reaching the "central regions still as a sub-<a href="/facts/Jupiter_mass/EtLUmeEN">Jovian</a> object."<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:43" href="#fn:43">43</a> More recent calculations indicate that disk evolution during migration can mitigate this problem.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:44" href="#fn:44">44</a>

The initial collapse of a solar-mass protostellar nebula takes around 100,000 years.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:53" href="#fn:53">53</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:54" href="#fn:54">54</a> Every nebula begins with a certain amount of <a href="/facts/Angular_momentum/7TuSVFxq">angular momentum</a>.

The jets are frequently observed in star-forming regions (see <a href="/facts/Herbig%25E2%2580%2593Haro_object/YHzaD2BP">Herbig–Haro (HH) objects</a>).<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:69" href="#fn:69">69</a> The luminosity of the Class 0 protostars is high — a solar-mass protostar may radiate at up to 100 solar luminosities.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:70" href="#fn:70">70</a> The source of this energy is <a href="/facts/Gravitational_collapse/7f4zQs8Y">gravitational collapse</a>, as their cores are not yet hot enough to begin <a href="/facts/Nuclear_fusion/hP0gLDqj">nuclear fusion</a>.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:71" href="#fn:71">71</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:72" href="#fn:72">72</a>

As the infall of its material onto the disk continues, the envelope eventually becomes thin and transparent and the <a href="/facts/Young_stellar_object/Pa6wuNkp">young stellar object</a> (YSO) becomes observable, initially in <a href="/facts/Far-infrared/rlup3DSX">far-infrared</a> light and later in the visible.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:73" href="#fn:73">73</a> Around this time the protostar begins to <a href="/facts/Nuclear_fusion/hP0gLDqj">fuse</a> <a href="/facts/Deuterium/Bv4wfCkw">deuterium</a>. If the protostar is sufficiently massive (above 80 Jupiter masses (<a href="/facts/Jupiter_mass/EtLUmeEN">MJ</a>)), hydrogen fusion follows. Otherwise, if its mass is too low, the object becomes a <a href="/facts/Brown_dwarf/fa7kr9lH">brown dwarf</a>.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:74" href="#fn:74">74</a> This birth of a new star occurs approximately 100,000 years after the collapse begins.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:75" href="#fn:75">75</a> Objects at this stage are known as Class I protostars,<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:76" href="#fn:76">76</a> which are also called young <a href="/facts/T_Tauri_star/vX5WL56u">T Tauri stars</a>, evolved protostars, or young stellar objects.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:77" href="#fn:77">77</a> By this time the forming star has already accreted much of its mass: the total mass of the disk and remaining envelope does not exceed 10–20% of the mass of the central YSO.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:78" href="#fn:78">78</a>
At the next stage the envelope completely disappears, having been gathered up by the disk, and the protostar becomes a classical T Tauri star.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:79" href="#fn:79">79</a> This happens after about 1 million years.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:80" href="#fn:80">80</a> The mass of the disk around a classical T Tauri star is about 1–3% of the stellar mass, and it is accreted at a rate of 10−7 to 10−9 M☉ per year.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:81" href="#fn:81">81</a> A pair of bipolar jets is usually present as well.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:82" href="#fn:82">82</a> The accretion explains all peculiar properties of classical T Tauri stars: strong <a href="/facts/Flux/Aw3P5Bvb">flux</a> in the <a href="/facts/Emission_line/HuI4Bj5f">emission lines</a> (up to 100% of the intrinsic <a href="/facts/Luminosity/1tdhpk9l">luminosity</a> of the star), <a href="/facts/Magnetic/eo75vApl">magnetic</a> activity, <a href="/facts/Photometry_(astronomy)/fnV9JdSa">photometric</a> <a href="/facts/Variable_star/Ac8mp2gy">variability</a> and jets.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:83" href="#fn:83">83</a> The emission lines actually form as the accreted gas hits the "surface" of the star, which happens around its <a href="/facts/Poles_of_astronomical_bodies/HEz90QFn">magnetic poles</a>.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:84" href="#fn:84">84</a> The jets are byproducts of accretion: they carry away excessive angular momentum. The classical T Tauri stage lasts about 10 million years.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:85" href="#fn:85">85</a> The disk eventually disappears due to accretion onto the central star, planet formation, ejection by jets and <a href="/facts/Photoevaporation/0VntLhcD">photoevaporation</a> by UV-radiation from the central star and nearby stars.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:86" href="#fn:86">86</a> As a result, the young star becomes a <a href="/facts/Weak-lined_T_Tauri_star/k2uNIRzM">weakly lined T Tauri star</a>, which slowly, over hundreds of millions of years, evolves into an ordinary Sun-like star.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:87" href="#fn:87">87</a>

The ice can survive only in the outer part of the disk.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:97" href="#fn:97">97</a>

This is vital for accretion, because the gas can be accreted by the central protostar only if it loses most of its angular momentum, which must be carried away by the small part of the gas drifting outwards.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:99" href="#fn:99">99</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:100" href="#fn:100">100</a> The result of this process is the growth of both the protostar and of the disk <a href="/facts/Radius/9Gr9deYD">radius</a>, which can reach 1,000 AU if the initial angular momentum of the nebula is large enough.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:101" href="#fn:101">101</a> Large disks are routinely observed in many star-forming regions such as the <a href="/facts/Orion_nebula/6VWbcqzL">Orion nebula</a>.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:102" href="#fn:102">102</a>

Dust particles tend to stick to each other in the dense disk environment, leading to the formation of larger particles up to several centimeters in size.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:107" href="#fn:107">107</a> The signatures of the dust processing and <a href="/facts/Coagulation/vnfEevM0">coagulation</a> are observed in the infrared spectra of the young disks.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:108" href="#fn:108">108</a> Further aggregation can lead to the formation of <a href="/facts/Planetesimal/PK60dofs">planetesimals</a> measuring 1 km across or larger, which are the building blocks of <a href="/facts/Planet/rbPjE6Bx">planets</a>.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:109" href="#fn:109">109</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:110" href="#fn:110">110</a> Planetesimal formation is another unsolved problem of disk physics, as simple sticking becomes ineffective as dust particles grow larger.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:111" href="#fn:111">111</a>
One hypothesis is formation by <a href="/facts/Jeans_instability/VBmcPj7Y">gravitational instability</a>. Particles several centimeters in size or larger slowly settle near the middle plane of the disk, forming a very thin—less than 100 km—and dense layer. This layer is gravitationally unstable and may fragment into numerous clumps, which in turn collapse into planetesimals.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:112" href="#fn:112">112</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:113" href="#fn:113">113</a> However, the differing velocities of the gas disk and the solids near the mid-plane can generate turbulence which prevents the layer from becoming thin enough to fragment due to gravitational instability.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:114" href="#fn:114">114</a> This may limit the formation of planetesimals via gravitational instabilities to specific locations in the disk where the concentration of solids is enhanced.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:115" href="#fn:115">115</a>
Another possible mechanism for the formation of planetesimals is the <a href="/facts/Streaming_instability/c0MMtp2J">streaming instability</a> in which the drag felt by particles orbiting through gas creates a feedback effect causing the growth of local concentrations. These local concentrations push back on the gas creating a region where the headwind felt by the particles is smaller. The concentration is thus able to orbit faster and undergoes less radial drift. Isolated particles join these concentrations as they are overtaken or as they drift inward causing it to grow in mass. Eventually these concentrations form massive filaments which fragment and undergo gravitational collapse forming planetesimals the size of the larger asteroids.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:116" href="#fn:116">116</a>
Planetary formation can also be triggered by gravitational instability within the disk itself, which leads to its fragmentation into clumps. Some of them, if they are dense enough, will <a href="/facts/Gravitational_collapse/7f4zQs8Y">collapse</a>,<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:117" href="#fn:117">117</a> which can lead to rapid formation of <a href="/facts/Gas_giant/pmF6KztG">gas giant</a> planets and even <a href="/facts/Brown_dwarf/fa7kr9lH">brown dwarfs</a> on the timescale of 1,000 years.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:118" href="#fn:118">118</a> If these clumps migrate inward as the collapse proceeds tidal forces from the star can result in a significant <a href="/facts/Tidal_downsizing/Ydbzx2Ux">mass loss</a> leaving behind a smaller body.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:119" href="#fn:119">119</a> However it is only possible in massive disks—more massive than 0.3 M☉. In comparison, typical disk masses are 0.01–0.03 M☉. Because the massive disks are rare, this mechanism of planet formation is thought to be infrequent.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:120" href="#fn:120">120</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:121" href="#fn:121">121</a> On the other hand, it may play a major role in the formation of <a href="/facts/Brown_dwarf/fa7kr9lH">brown dwarfs</a>.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:122" href="#fn:122">122</a>

The ultimate <a href="/facts/Dissipation/C134STy1">dissipation</a> of protoplanetary disks is triggered by a number of different mechanisms. The inner part of the disk is either accreted by the star or ejected by the <a href="/facts/Bipolar_outflow/m4e5yTLM">bipolar jets</a>,<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:123" href="#fn:123">123</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:124" href="#fn:124">124</a> whereas the outer part can <a href="/facts/Photoevaporation/0VntLhcD">evaporate</a> under the star's powerful <a href="/facts/Ultraviolet/kncBUqn5">UV</a> <a href="/facts/Radiation/RwMocyeq">radiation</a> during the T Tauri stage<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:125" href="#fn:125">125</a> or by nearby stars.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:126" href="#fn:126">126</a> The gas in the central part can either be accreted or ejected by the growing planets, while the small dust particles are ejected by the <a href="/facts/Radiation_pressure/xA6japY0">radiation pressure</a> of the central star. What is finally left is either a planetary system, a remnant disk of dust without planets, or nothing, if planetesimals failed to form.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:127" href="#fn:127">127</a>
Because planetesimals are so numerous, and spread throughout the protoplanetary disk, some survive the formation of a planetary system. <a href="/facts/Asteroid/g7Ulr1VB">Asteroids</a> are understood to be left-over planetesimals, gradually grinding each other down into smaller and smaller bits, while comets are typically planetesimals from the farther reaches of a planetary system. Meteorites are samples of planetesimals that reach a planetary surface, and provide a great deal of information about the formation of the Solar System. Primitive-type meteorites are chunks of shattered low-mass planetesimals, where no thermal <a href="/facts/Planetary_differentiation/fvjC1107">differentiation</a> took place, while processed-type meteorites are chunks from shattered massive planetesimals.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:128" href="#fn:128">128</a> Interstellar objects could have been captured, and become part of the young Solar system.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:129" href="#fn:129">129</a>

<h2 id="formation-of-planets">Formation of planets</h2>
<h3>Rocky planets</h3>
According to the solar nebular disk model, <a href="/facts/Rocky_planet/jpMC1ULt">rocky planets</a> form in the inner part of the protoplanetary disk, within the <a href="/facts/Frost_line_(astrophysics)/jIvm90Mm">frost line</a>, where the temperature is high enough to prevent condensation of water ice and other substances into grains.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:130" href="#fn:130">130</a> This results in coagulation of purely rocky grains and later in the formation of rocky planetesimals.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:131" href="#fn:131">131</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:132" href="#fn:132">132</a> Such conditions are thought to exist in the inner 3–4 AU part of the disk of a Sun-like star.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:133" href="#fn:133">133</a>
After small planetesimals—about 1 km in diameter—have formed by one way or another, runaway accretion begins.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:134" href="#fn:134">134</a> It is called runaway because the mass growth rate is proportional to R4~M4/3, where R and M are the radius and mass of the growing body, respectively.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:135" href="#fn:135">135</a> The specific (divided by mass) growth accelerates as the mass increases. This leads to the preferential growth of larger bodies at the expense of smaller ones.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:136" href="#fn:136">136</a> The runaway accretion lasts between 10,000 and 100,000 years and ends when the largest bodies exceed approximately 1,000 km in diameter.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:137" href="#fn:137">137</a> Slowing of the accretion is caused by gravitational perturbations by large bodies on the remaining planetesimals.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:138" href="#fn:138">138</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:139" href="#fn:139">139</a> In addition, the influence of larger bodies stops further growth of smaller bodies.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:140" href="#fn:140">140</a>
The next stage is called oligarchic accretion.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:141" href="#fn:141">141</a> It is characterized by the dominance of several hundred of the largest bodies—oligarchs, which continue to slowly accrete planetesimals.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:142" href="#fn:142">142</a> No body other than the oligarchs can grow.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:143" href="#fn:143">143</a> At this stage the rate of accretion is proportional to R2, which is derived from the geometrical <a href="/facts/Cross_section_(geometry)/g5R1c6v2">cross-section</a> of an oligarch.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:144" href="#fn:144">144</a> The specific accretion rate is proportional to M−1/3; and it declines with the mass of the body. This allows smaller oligarchs to catch up to larger ones. The oligarchs are kept at the distance of about 10·Hr (Hr=a(1-e)(M/3Ms)1/3 is the <a href="/facts/Hill_radius/wutNvPyw">Hill radius</a>, where a is the <a href="/facts/Semimajor_axis/l7JES2wo">semimajor axis</a>, e is the <a href="/facts/Orbital_eccentricity/WGlB4NBn">orbital eccentricity</a>, and Ms is the mass of the central star) from each other by the influence of the remaining planetesimals.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:145" href="#fn:145">145</a> Their orbital eccentricities and inclinations remain small. The oligarchs continue to accrete until planetesimals are exhausted in the disk around them.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:146" href="#fn:146">146</a> Sometimes nearby oligarchs merge. The final mass of an oligarch depends on the distance from the star and surface density of planetesimals and is called the isolation mass.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:147" href="#fn:147">147</a> For the rocky planets it is up to 0.1 ME, or one <a href="/facts/Mars/AQGtVvz0">Mars</a> mass.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:148" href="#fn:148">148</a> The final result of the oligarchic stage is the formation of about 100 <a href="/facts/Moon/zKHqEMPb">Moon</a>- to Mars-sized planetary embryos uniformly spaced at about 10·Hr.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:149" href="#fn:149">149</a> They are thought to reside inside gaps in the disk and to be separated by rings of remaining planetesimals. This stage is thought to last a few hundred thousand years.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:150" href="#fn:150">150</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:151" href="#fn:151">151</a>
The last stage of rocky planet formation is the merger stage.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:152" href="#fn:152">152</a> It begins when only a small number of planetesimals remains and embryos become massive enough to perturb each other, which causes their orbits to become <a href="/facts/Chaos_theory/LTC17vsF">chaotic</a>.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:153" href="#fn:153">153</a> During this stage embryos expel remaining planetesimals, and collide with each other. The result of this process, which lasts for 10 to 100 million years, is the formation of a limited number of Earth-sized bodies. Simulations show that the number of surviving planets is on average from 2 to 5.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:154" href="#fn:154">154</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:155" href="#fn:155">155</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:156" href="#fn:156">156</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:157" href="#fn:157">157</a> In the Solar System they may be represented by Earth and <a href="/facts/Venus/pADnueP6">Venus</a>.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:158" href="#fn:158">158</a> Formation of both planets required merging of approximately 10–20 embryos, while an equal number of them were thrown out of the Solar System.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:159" href="#fn:159">159</a> Some of the embryos, which originated in the <a href="/facts/Asteroid_belt/YHAq2Eh3">asteroid belt</a>, are thought to have brought water to Earth.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:160" href="#fn:160">160</a> Mars and <a href="/facts/Mercury_(planet)/lVa1GIyX">Mercury</a> may be regarded as remaining embryos that survived that rivalry.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:161" href="#fn:161">161</a> Rocky planets which have managed to coalesce settle eventually into more or less stable orbits, explaining why planetary systems are generally packed to the limit; or, in other words, why they always appear to be at the brink of instability.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:162" href="#fn:162">162</a>

<h3>Giant planets</h3>

The formation of <a href="/facts/Giant_planet/PjSfFuUF">giant planets</a> is an outstanding problem in the <a href="/facts/Planetary_science/ocX6rp0d">planetary sciences</a>.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:163" href="#fn:163">163</a> In the framework of the solar nebular model two theories for their formation exist. The first one is the disk instability model, where giant planets form in the massive protoplanetary disks as a result of its <a href="/facts/Gravity/bqAN7DdQ">gravitational</a> fragmentation (see above).<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:164" href="#fn:164">164</a> The second possibility is the core accretion model, which is also known as the nucleated instability model.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:165" href="#fn:165">165</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:166" href="#fn:166">166</a> The latter scenario is thought to be the most promising one, because it can explain the formation of the giant planets in relatively low-mass disks (less than 0.1 M☉).<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:167" href="#fn:167">167</a> In this model giant planet formation is divided into two stages: a) accretion of a core of approximately 10 ME and b) accretion of gas from the protoplanetary disk.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:168" href="#fn:168">168</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:169" href="#fn:169">169</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:170" href="#fn:170">170</a> Either method may also lead to the creation of <a href="/facts/Brown_dwarfs/fa7kr9lH">brown dwarfs</a>.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:171" href="#fn:171">171</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:172" href="#fn:172">172</a> Searches as of 2011 have found that core accretion is likely the dominant formation mechanism.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:173" href="#fn:173">173</a>
Giant planet core formation is thought to proceed roughly along the lines of the terrestrial planet formation.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:174" href="#fn:174">174</a> It starts with planetesimals that undergo runaway growth, followed by the slower oligarchic stage.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:175" href="#fn:175">175</a> Hypotheses do not predict a merger stage, due to the low probability of collisions between planetary embryos in the outer part of planetary systems.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:176" href="#fn:176">176</a> An additional difference is the composition of the <a href="/facts/Planetesimal/PK60dofs">planetesimals</a>, which in the case of giant planets form beyond the so-called <a href="/facts/Frost_line_(astrophysics)/jIvm90Mm">frost line</a> and consist mainly of ice—the ice to rock ratio is about 4 to 1.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:177" href="#fn:177">177</a> This enhances the mass of planetesimals fourfold. However, the minimum mass nebula capable of terrestrial planet formation can only form 1–2 ME cores at the distance of Jupiter (5 AU) within 10 million years.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:178" href="#fn:178">178</a> The latter number represents the average lifetime of gaseous disks around Sun-like stars.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:179" href="#fn:179">179</a> The proposed solutions include enhanced mass of the disk—a tenfold increase would suffice;<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:180" href="#fn:180">180</a> protoplanet migration, which allows the embryo to accrete more planetesimals;<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:181" href="#fn:181">181</a> and finally accretion enhancement due to <a href="/facts/Drag_(physics)/vdl4jF7I">gas drag</a> in the gaseous envelopes of the embryos.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:182" href="#fn:182">182</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:183" href="#fn:183">183</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:184" href="#fn:184">184</a> Some combination of the above-mentioned ideas may explain the formation of the cores of gas giant planets such as <a href="/facts/Jupiter/95m7XjMT">Jupiter</a> and perhaps even <a href="/facts/Saturn/D54LcGJ9">Saturn</a>.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:185" href="#fn:185">185</a> The formation of planets like <a href="/facts/Uranus/x7YwT1ar">Uranus</a> and <a href="/facts/Neptune/1eucwHIC">Neptune</a> is more problematic, since no theory has been capable of providing for the in situ formation of their cores at the distance of 20–30 AU from the central star.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:186" href="#fn:186">186</a> One hypothesis is that they initially accreted in the Jupiter-Saturn region, then were scattered and migrated to their present location.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:187" href="#fn:187">187</a> Another possible solution is the growth of the cores of the giant planets via <a href="/facts/Pebble_accretion/t9hP436x">pebble accretion</a>. In pebble accretion objects between a cm and a meter in diameter falling toward a massive body are slowed enough by gas drag for them to spiral toward it and be accreted. Growth via pebble accretion may be as much as 1000 times faster than by the accretion of planetesimals.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:188" href="#fn:188">188</a>
Once the cores are of sufficient mass (5–10 ME), they begin to gather gas from the surrounding disk.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:189" href="#fn:189">189</a> Initially it is a slow process, increasing the core masses up to 30 ME in a few million years.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:190" href="#fn:190">190</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:191" href="#fn:191">191</a> After that, the accretion rates increase dramatically and the remaining 90% of the mass is accumulated in approximately 10,000 years.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:192" href="#fn:192">192</a> The accretion of gas stops when the supply from the disk is exhausted.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:193" href="#fn:193">193</a> This happens gradually, due to the formation of a density gap in the protoplanetary disk and to disk dispersal.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:194" href="#fn:194">194</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:195" href="#fn:195">195</a> In this model ice giants—Uranus and Neptune—are failed cores that began gas accretion too late, when almost all gas had already disappeared. The post-runaway-gas-accretion stage is characterized by migration of the newly formed giant planets and continued slow gas accretion.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:196" href="#fn:196">196</a> Migration is caused by the interaction of the planet sitting in the gap with the remaining disk. It stops when the protoplanetary disk disappears or when the end of the disk is attained. The latter case corresponds to the so-called <a href="/facts/Hot_Jupiters/9wSFCuxk">hot Jupiters</a>, which are likely to have stopped their migration when they reached the inner hole in the protoplanetary disk.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:197" href="#fn:197">197</a>
During the accretion of gas via streams, a giant planet can be surrounded by a <a href="/facts/Circumplanetary_disk/dpsq9bdV">circumplanetary disk</a>. This circumplanetary disk also carries solids and can form satellites. The <a href="/facts/Galilean_moons/aN6tLUFc">Galilean moons</a> are thought to have formed in such a circumplanetary disk.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:198" href="#fn:198">198</a>

Giant planets can significantly influence <a href="/facts/Terrestrial_planet/jpMC1ULt">terrestrial planet</a> formation. The presence of giants tends to increase <a href="/facts/Orbital_eccentricity/WGlB4NBn">eccentricities</a> and <a href="/facts/Orbital_inclination/TQCFWyfd">inclinations</a> (see <a href="/facts/Kozai_mechanism/KujDlqLG">Kozai mechanism</a>) of planetesimals and embryos in the terrestrial planet region (inside 4 AU in the Solar System).<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:199" href="#fn:199">199</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:200" href="#fn:200">200</a> If giant planets form too early, they can slow or prevent inner planet accretion. If they form near the end of the oligarchic stage, as is thought to have happened in the Solar System, they will influence the merges of planetary embryos, making them more violent.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:201" href="#fn:201">201</a> As a result, the number of terrestrial planets will decrease and they will be more massive.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:202" href="#fn:202">202</a> In addition, the size of the system will shrink, because terrestrial planets will form closer to the central star. The influence of giant planets in the Solar System, particularly that of <a href="/facts/Jupiter/95m7XjMT">Jupiter</a>, is thought to have been limited because they are relatively remote from the terrestrial planets.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:203" href="#fn:203">203</a>
The region of a planetary system adjacent to the giant planets will be influenced in a different way.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:204" href="#fn:204">204</a> In such a region, eccentricities of embryos may become so large that the embryos pass close to a giant planet, which may cause them to be ejected from the system.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:205" href="#fn:205">205</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:206" href="#fn:206">206</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:207" href="#fn:207">207</a> If all embryos are removed, then no planets will form in this region.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:208" href="#fn:208">208</a> An additional consequence is that a huge number of small planetesimals will remain, because giant planets are incapable of clearing them all out without the help of embryos. The total mass of remaining planetesimals will be small, because cumulative action of the embryos before their ejection and giant planets is still strong enough to remove 99% of the small bodies.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:209" href="#fn:209">209</a> Such a region will eventually evolve into an <a href="/facts/Asteroid_belt/YHAq2Eh3">asteroid belt</a>, which is a full analog of the asteroid belt in the Solar System, located from 2 to 4 AU from the Sun.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:210" href="#fn:210">210</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:211" href="#fn:211">211</a>

<h3>Exoplanets</h3>
Thousands of exoplanets have been identified in the last twenty years, with, at the very least, billions more, within our observable universe, yet to be discovered.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:212" href="#fn:212">212</a> The orbits of many of these planets and systems of planets differ significantly from the planets in the Solar System. The exoplanets discovered include hot-Jupiters, warm-Jupiters, super-Earths, and systems of tightly packed inner planets.
The hot-Jupiters and warm-Jupiters are thought to have migrated to their current orbits during or following their formation. A number of possible mechanisms for this migration have been proposed. Type I or Type II migration could smoothly decrease the semimajor axis of the planet's orbit resulting in a warm- or hot-Jupiter. Gravitational scattering by other planets onto eccentric orbits with a perihelion near the star followed by the circularization of its orbit due to tidal interactions with the star can leave a planet on a close orbit. If a massive companion planet or star on an inclined orbit was present an exchange of inclination for eccentricity via the <a href="/facts/Kozai_mechanism/KujDlqLG">Kozai mechanism</a> raising eccentricities and lowering perihelion followed by circularization can also result in a close orbit. Many of the Jupiter-sized planets have eccentric orbits which may indicate that gravitational encounters occurred between the planets, although migration while in resonance can also excite eccentricities.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:213" href="#fn:213">213</a> The in situ growth of hot Jupiters from closely orbiting super Earths has also been proposed. The cores in this hypothesis could have formed locally or at a greater distance and migrated close to the star.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:214" href="#fn:214">214</a>
Super-Earths and other closely orbiting planets are thought to have either formed in situ or ex situ, that is, to have migrated inward from their initial locations.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:215" href="#fn:215">215</a> The in situ formation of closely orbiting super-Earths would require a massive disk, the migration of planetary embryos followed by collisions and mergers, or the radial drift of small solids from farther out in the disk. The migration of the super-Earths, or the embryos that collided to form them, is likely to have been Type I due to their smaller mass. The resonant orbits of some of the exoplanet systems indicates that some migration occurred in these systems, while the spacing of the orbits in many of the other systems not in resonance indicates that an instability likely occurred in those systems after the dissipation of the gas disk. The absence of Super-Earths and closely orbiting planets in the Solar System may be due to the previous formation of Jupiter blocking their inward migration.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:216" href="#fn:216">216</a>
The amount of gas a super-Earth that formed in situ acquires may depend on when the planetary embryos merged due to giant impacts relative to the dissipation of the gas disk. If the mergers happen after the gas disk dissipates terrestrial planets can form, if in a transition disk a super-Earth with a gas envelope containing a few percent of its mass may form. If the mergers happen too early runaway gas accretion may occur leading to the formation of a gas giant. The mergers begin when the dynamical friction due to the gas disk becomes insufficient to prevent collisions, a process that will begin earlier in a higher metallicity disk.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:217" href="#fn:217">217</a> Alternatively gas accretion may be limited due to the envelopes not being in hydrostatic equilibrium, instead gas may flow through the envelope slowing its growth and delaying the onset of runaway gas accretion until the mass of the core reaches 15 Earth masses.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:218" href="#fn:218">218</a>

<h2 id="meaning-of-accretion">Meaning of accretion</h2>
Use of the term "<a href="/facts/Accretion_disk/8zJXshat">accretion disk</a>" for the <a href="/facts/Protoplanetary_disk/FtfSbP61">protoplanetary disk</a> leads to confusion over the <a href="/facts/Planetary_accretion/atcWRsDP">planetary accretion</a> process.
The protoplanetary disk is sometimes referred to as an accretion disk, because while the young <a href="/facts/T_Tauri_star/vX5WL56u">T Tauri</a>-like protostar is still contracting, gaseous material may still be falling onto it, accreting on its surface from the disk's inner edge.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:219" href="#fn:219">219</a> In an accretion disk, there is a net flux of mass from larger radii toward smaller radii.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:220" href="#fn:220">220</a>
However, that meaning should not be confused with the process of accretion forming the planets. In this context, accretion refers to the process of cooled, solidified grains of dust and ice orbiting the <a href="/facts/Protostar/fhQYMSBA">protostar</a> in the protoplanetary disk, colliding and sticking together and gradually growing, up to and including the high-energy collisions between sizable <a href="/facts/Planetesimal/PK60dofs">planetesimals</a>.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:221" href="#fn:221">221</a>
In addition, the <a href="/facts/Giant_planet/PjSfFuUF">giant planets</a> probably had accretion disks of their own, in the first meaning of the word.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:222" href="#fn:222">222</a> The clouds of captured hydrogen and helium gas contracted, spun up, flattened, and deposited gas onto the surface of each giant <a href="/facts/Protoplanet/syFmx3ku">protoplanet</a>, while solid bodies within that disk accreted into the giant planet's regular moons.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:223" href="#fn:223">223</a>

<li id="fn:79">The T Tauri stars are young stars with mass less than about 2.5 M☉ showing a heightened level of activity. They are divided into two classes: weakly lined and classical T Tauri stars.[43] The latter have accretion disks and continue to accrete hot gas, which manifests itself by strong emission lines in their spectrum. The former do not possess accretion disks. Classical T Tauri stars evolve into weakly lined T Tauri stars.[44] <a href="#fnref:79" class="footnote-back-ref">↩</a></li>
