A planetesimal is a solid body of a protoplanetary disc large enough, from about a kilometre to a few hundred kilometres across, for its growth to be governed by gravity rather than by sticking. A planetary embryo is a body that has grown, by accreting planetesimals, large enough to dominate its own region of the disc and to sweep it clear of planetesimals.
