Formation of Terrestrial Planets from the Viewpoints of Astrophysics and Material Science – Formation of Planetesimals by Chemical Reactions at Contact Points between Solids
Abstract:a solar system from a viewpoint of chemical describes in this paper. When a celestial body becomes sufficiently large to hold hydrogen atoms via gravitation, the hydrogen rich environment increases the body's growth rate at a fast pace. This will correspond to a "gravitational collapse". Before nuclear fusion, the proto-Sun contained large amounts of solids. In this context, the iron currently contained in the Sun is 0.014% of the total mass. The mass of the Sun is about 333,000 times that of the Earth where t… Show more
