Probabilities of Collisions of Migrating Bodies and Dust Particles
Probabilities of Collisions of Migrating Bodies and Dust Particles

... Venus was 0.3 and 0.7, respectively. For another object (from 2P runs) during its lifetime (352 Myr) its probability of collisions with Earth, Venus and Mars was 0.172, 0.224, and 0.065, respectively. For all 12000 other objects, with BULSTO such probability was 0.2, 0.18, and 0.04, respectively. Fo ...

... Because of misleading diagrams often seen in books other astronomy reference materials, most people believe that the orbits of the planets are highly elliptical – almost cigar shaped. In fact, the orbits of the planets are very nearly circular. The problem with this misconception about planetary orb ...

... to form mountain-size bodies called planetesimals. Collisions and gravitational interactions between planetesimals combine to produce a few tens of Moon-to-Mars-size planetary embryos in roughly 0.1 – 1 million years. Finally, the embryos collide to form the planets in 10 – 100 million years. One of ...
