Accretion Of Solids

Accretion of Solids is a theoretical construct in planetary formation that describes the process by which microscopic dust particles in a protoplanetary disk coalesce under mutual gravitational and collisional interactions to form progressively larger solid bodies, ultimately leading to planetesimals.
