Protoplanets orbiting in a gaseous disk. Gravitational interactions between protoplanets and the disk induce convergent migration towards 0.7-1 au. Proto-Earth is visible in the foreground; Venus and Mercury far away. Gas also contains dust and pebbles (cm-sized particles); the latter are affected by aerodynamic drag and contribute to the accretion of planets.

Alternative view of the proto-Earth. Its hot atmosphere may have been optically thick, but here we show it as transparent.
