Abstract Orbital calculations of 25 planetesimals revolving in an annular zone around the Sun are performed in order to see their kinetic behavior, especially how the mean eccentricity and inclination evolve. Mutual gravitational interactions between planetesimals and the Sun are fully taken into account, without any cutoff at “the sphere of influence”. Numerical results in three dimensions show and evolve through gravitational interactions toward the state where , irrespective to the initial conditions.
