Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Clumps of interstellar matter left behind in the midplane of the solar disk as it contracted toward its centre gradually coalesced, through a process of accretion, to form grains, pebbles, boulders, and then planetesimals measuring a few kilometres to several hundred kilometres across.
Detailed explanation-2: -What is accretion theory? Accretion theory explains the process of small clumps of dust gathering together to gradually form planetesimals. These planetesimals accumulate more materials and form protoplanets. These protoplanets build until they form planets within the solar system.
