    1) The Earth formed 4.6 billion years ago from a giant gas cloud and took 10-20 million years to form into planets via accretion. 2) Early Earth was heavily bombarded by asteroids and had seas of lava and a toxic atmosphere. 3) Water began accumulating on Earth's surface from rainfall and asteroids, and today the Earth is 71% water and 29% land, with most fresh water in ice and snow.

    The Earth

    Planet Earth is
    the home of
    every lifeform in
    the Universe.
    The age of the
    Earth is admited
    at about 1/3
    (one third) of
    the age of the
    Universe. Earth
    offers many
    beauties inside it. The Earth is wrapped in a thin sliver of sweet air to
    breathe, with vast ocean, fertile plains, magnificent mountains, fresh
    water rivers, streams, lakes and aquifers, orbiting a star which warms
    us, and gives us energy. But how did our home come into existence,
    and what’s it made of?

    4.6 (Four point six) billion years ago, earth was created from
    the remnants of dead stars that are collected in a giant, dirty gas
    cloud. The gas cloud became denser in its center and formed an
    acretion disk. Small particles started clumping together and building
    larger and larger objects, until they formed the objects we call today
    as “Planets”. This process took 10 to 20 million years, and is still not
    very well understood. At about this time, when the solar system was
    young and chaotic, a giant object, about as big as Mars, collided with
    our home. The impact was violent, and if the object has been more
    massive it might have destroyed Earth. Materials from Earth were
    smashed out into the orbit, and formed the moon, Which is the
    Biggest satellite in relation to its planet in the solar system.

    At this time, Earth was a hot hell, constantly being hit by


    asteroids, with seas of lava, and a toxic atmosphere. But something
    was about to change drastically, Earth cooled down. Water from
    inside the Earth wandered to the surface and rained down on Earth
    only two vaporize again and become cloud. Million of asteroids
    brought more and more water to our planet. Today the surface of
    the Earth is 71% (seventy one percent) water and 29% (twenty nine
    percent) land. The water is 97.5% (ninety seven point five percent)
    saline water while only 2.5% (two point five percent) is fresh water.
    The fresh water is 69% (sixty nine percent) ice and snow, 30% (thirty
    percent) ground water, and only about 1% (one percent) make up
    the remaining ground water.
