Scientific paper

It is proposed that Jupiter and Saturn were initially formed as small rocks which grew into their present sizes as a result of accretion of matter from the gas-dust cloud surrounding the Sun. The energy released by the accretion of Jupiter and Saturn is computed. It is concluded that the ‘excess’ radiation from these planets is due to simple cooling and that the gravitational contraction from initially extended states most probably never occurred.
