The formation of solid particles in the protoplanetary cloud has been examined on the basis of a sintering theory. The study suggests that such particles could be formed in a region of a protoplanetary cloud with temperature not lower than about 500 K. The size of metallic iron SP was estimated as 2 x 10 to the -3rd to 2 x 10 to the -2nd cm while that of silicate particles was estimated as less than 10 to the -3rd cm. The size of solid particles (particularly ice) is thought to depend to a strong degree on their temperature in the coagulation period. Thus, the sizes and compositions of SP in different parts of the protoplanetary cloud could have been quite different.
