planetesimals's Usage Examples:

or other body in orbit around a star interacts with a disk of gas or planetesimals, resulting in the alteration of its orbital parameters, especially its.

Protoplanets are thought to form out of kilometer-sized planetesimals that gravitationally perturb each other's orbits and collide, gradually.

The grains eventually may coagulate into kilometer-sized planetesimals.

accelerates the growth of the particles into boulder-sized planetesimals.

The more massive planetesimals accrete some smaller ones, while others shatter in collisions.

asteroid belt formed from the primordial solar nebula as a group of planetesimals.

increased the amount of debris, such as collisions between planetesimals.

Alternatively, the planetesimals in this system may have unusual physical properties.

A large, dense disk of small rock and ice planetesimals totalling about 35 Earth masses extended from the orbit of the outermost.

pancake or ring-shaped accumulation of matter composed of gas, dust, planetesimals, asteroids, or collision fragments in orbit around a star.

interactions may cause the dust and ice grains in the disk to accrete into planetesimals.

A dense disk of planetesimals orbits beyond these planets, extending from 24 AU to 30 AU.

The planetesimals in this disk are stirred due.

formation by accretion, planets are the result of the agglomeration of planetesimals, themselves formed by the coalescence of dust from the protoplanetary.

Debris produced by collisions among planetesimals swept ahead of Jupiter may have driven an early generation of planets.

disk phase and the inclusion of gravitational interactions between planetesimals in the outer disk into the model.

Iron meteorites originate from cores of planetesimals.

also be produced and maintained as the remnants of collisions between planetesimals, otherwise known as asteroids and comets.

Jan Oort, is a theoretical concept of a cloud of predominantly icy planetesimals proposed to surround the Sun at distances ranging from 2,000 to 200.

accretion of objects ranging from centimeters up to meters in diameter onto planetesimals in a protoplanetary disk is enhanced by aerodynamic drag from the gas.

During the formation of the Solar System, there were probably many more (planetesimals), but they have all merged with or been destroyed by the four remaining.
