In the standard formation scenario of planetary systems, planets form from a protoplanetary disk that consists of gas and dust. The scenario can be divided into three stages: (1) formation of planetesimals from dust, (2) formation of protoplanets from planetesimals, and (3) formation of planets from protoplanets. In stage (1), planetesimals form from dust through coagulation of dust grains and/or some instability of a dust layer. Planetesimals grow by mutual collisions to protoplanets or planetary embryos through runaway and oligarchic growth in stage (2). The final stage (3) of terrestrial planet formation is giant impacts among protoplanets while sweeping residual planetesimals. In the present paper, we review the elementary processes of terrestrial planet formation and discuss the extension of the standard scenario.
