CONT

Pour certains, les matériaux constituant les planètes telluriques se sont accrétés dans l'ordre de leur densité. Les éléments les plus lourds, comme le fer, se sont condensés et rassemblés les premiers, en formant le noyau. Puis d'autre solides, plus légers [...] sont venus s'accoler pour donner le manteau et la croûte.
