Protoplanet
astronomy
protoplanet, in astronomical theory, a hypothetical eddy in a whirling cloud of gas or dust that becomes a planet by condensation during formation of a solar system. As the central body, or protostar, of the system contracts and heats up, the increasing pressure of its radiation is believed to drive off much of the thinner material of the protoplanets, particularly those closer to the nascent star.
