Passing over the intermediate stages, we find the nebula contracting until it extended no further than the line now marked by the Earth's orbit; the speed with which the nebula was rotating must have been increasing all the time, so that though the nebula required several years to go round when it extended as far as Jupiter, only a fraction o...f that period was necessary when it had reached the position indicated by the Earth's track at the present time. ...
