Matter farther out in the disk was also clumping together. These clumps smashed into one another, forming larger and larger objects. Some of them grew big enough for their gravity to shape them into spheres, becoming planets, dwarf planets, and large moons.

Other smaller leftover pieces became asteroids, comets, meteoroids, and small, irregular moons.
