Scientific paper

The Rayleigh-Taylor instability in a self-gravitating two-layer fluid sphere comprising an inner sphere and an outer layer is investigated with reference to the formation of the earth's core. The fluid sphere corresponds to the proto-earth in the accretion stage. The instability is examined without rotation of the fluid sphere, while the proto-earth is rotating. It is shown that the Coriolis force can be neglected in the earth's core formation problem. The main properties of the instability are given.
