Planets produced by the capture-theory model would condense into compact partially segregated bodies in a period of 103-104 a (years). A resisting medium, which would be a byproduct of the capture process, is shown to give rounding of planetary orbits in 104-108 a, the rounding time being dependent on planetary mass. A collision between two planets is postulated and it is shown that the larger planet could be ejected from the Solar System. The collision could also provide sufficient energy to break up the smaller planet and so to provide the material for the minor planets.
