Abstract: The planets in our Solar System are all in roughly the same plane and trace roughly circular orbits around the Sun. As discussed at a meeting in October, however, with especial emphasis on the terrestrial planets, numerical simulations of the formation of Earth and Venus have them with much higher orbital eccentricities and inclinations than today. Hence the circular problem, which remains to be solved.
