Migration of planetesimals and embryos of forming planets was investigated on the basis of computer runs of the evolution of disks of gravitating bodies orbiting the Sun. Our results obtained earlier with the use of the spheres' method are close to the results obtained recently by other authors by numerical integration. Due to the interaction with migrating planetesimals, the embryos of Uranus and Neptune, which acquired most of their masses near the orbit of Saturn, could migrate to the present distances from the Sun moving all time in nearly circular orbits. Each of the terrestrial planets incorporated planetesimals from all feeding zones of these planets.
