In the 1960s, it has been substantiated that an equation of Schrodinger type could describe the diffusion phenomena, and the main consequence from this finding has been that there would be wave property in the diffusion processes as well. This theory has been immediately proved through laboratorial experiments. Afterwards the theory was applied to the primordial nebula which was thought to surround the protosun, and has found the consistency of the prediction of the theory with current distance distribution of the planets to be excellent. At the end of 20th century new satellites of planets were discovered. On the basis of the new data, the theory is tested thoroughly and the result allows us to come to the conclusion that the basic process for the distances of the planets from the protosun to be determined has been the diffusion of the primordial nebula consisting of mainly molecular gas.
