... Here is a brief outline of the current theory of the events in the early history of the solar system: . A cloud of interstellar gas and/or dust (the "solar nebula") is disturbed and collapses under its own gravity. ...

Once the larger of these particles get big enough to have a nontrivial gravity, their growth accelerates. ...
