Origin of Earth
-
4.6 billion years ago
-
Sun and planets coalesced out of a vast cloud of gas and dust.
-
Earth was hot glowing ball of white hot gases.
-
Particles of gases were compressed together, giving off heat.
-
Gases cooled down.
-
Heavy material went to center of earth.
-
Liquid material went to center.
