Terrestrial planet formation is studied on the basis of a model wherein a system of two gravitational centers with variable separation between components is investigated under conditions of a total mass and angular momentum conservation. When the ratio of primary to secondary mass is approximately that of Jupiter to the sun, a ring similar to the asteroid belt of the solar system is formed. The formation of this ring structure is calculated by a numerical integration of Newtonian equations of N-body problem in the orbital plane of the gravitational centers. Consideration is also given to the main gaps in the distribution of their mean motions, the gap asymmetry and eccentricity distribution. With regard to the external part of the the ring, values are found for the clustering of bodies near 3/2 commensurability isolated from the main belt by a wide gap at 5/3 commensurability.
