I wonder how very low-gravity dust could make bind together and make hard and dense stones that later on will merge together and make some of the planets? I read some meteorites as hard as a hard stone are remnants of the early phase of solar system's formation. If this is the case, it shows that they are formed using their own gravity attracting other dust; however, I thought making such a hard stone will require a high pressure.

3Does this answer your question? How do rocky objects between 1cm and 1m accrete to form planetesimals? – user438383 Apr 18 '22 at 14:06

1Actually keeping this question is helpful, since if someone asks some question like this, the search engines will route her here. The other one is a specific question and not a general one. – Mehdi Abbassi Apr 19 '22 at 19:21

1These are different questions and have different answers, not a duplicate, voting to leave open. – uhoh Apr 19 '22 at 19:36

The process you are referring to is called pebble accretion, which is very complex and not particularly well understood.
The initial premise of your question, that dust particles stick together via their own gravity, is not quite correct. As you say, gravitational interactions between individual particles are incredibly weak. Rather, dust particles grow via collisions within a protoplanetary disk. During this early stage of star/planet formation, gas and dust are spread out in a huge disk in which the material orbits the newly forming star at the centre. Particles collide and stick to each other via electrostatic forces. Growth continues all the way through from dust particles, to much larger planetary building blocks called planetesimals. In this sense, meteorites are indeed remnants of the early Solar System. Sometimes you will hear them refer to as 'failed planets', in that they failed to accrete enough material to grow to planetary size.
There are still a lot of open questions relating to this process. For example, once particles reach sizes greater than about a meter, collisions result in fragmentation rather than growth. This has led to the development of newer theories, such as streaming instability, which are able to better explain rapid growth.

2There was a really nice experiment on the ISS recently that demonstrated how strong and important electrostatic effects are on accreting small particles together. Sorry I can't find a better link https://skyandtelescope.org/astronomy-news/building-planets-in-plastic-bags/ – thegreatemu Apr 19 '22 at 23:22

This is not quite the answer to what OP is asking: "Stones" i.e.rocks of the size of a fist or smaller (down to mm-sized Chondrules) cannot be formed via pebble accretion. The latter is the process of accreting small rocks (such as Chondrules) onto a parent seed body of lunar to mars mass in order to form larger planetary cores. How those pebbles form in the first place, i.e. how they are concentrated and melted, is not answered here. – AtmosphericPrisonEscape Apr 26 '22 at 09:57
