Thank you so much for explaining the differences between planetesimals and protoplanets. I wasn't sure which came first. I understand now.

Nice video. Professor I have a question. Why aren't some asteroids spherical like big ones? I asked about this from my friend and he told me about something called

"potato radius."

I looked for some explanations in Google and yt but couldn't find much about it. Can you do a video about it including a mathematical derivation of a formula to calculate it. 😁

Sir, can you comment on why the planets took on counter-clockwise orbital paths, why the planets took on their spin, and what caused them to assume a plane configuration? Thank you!
