    Dinosaurs Extinction

    Dinosaurs went extinct around 65 million years ago

    Dinosaurs Appear

    Dinosaurs first appeared on Earth around 247 million years ago
  • Earth Cools

    (1.6 billion years ago) The heat in the core of Earth is trying to escape. As the heat tried to escape, it broke up the continents and created the tectonic plates.
  • Breath of Life

    (3.5 billion years ago) Oxygen emerged from photosynthesis in rocks.
  • Late Heavy Bombardent

    (600 million to 800 million years ago) Jupiter and Saturn migrated towards the other plants and cleared out debris and eventually migrated back out.
  • Late Accretion Stage

    (100 to 600 million years ago) Pluto like objects crashing into other planets and depositing metal.
  • Giant Impact Stage

    (10 million to 100 million years ago) The clumps are gaining in size and becoming planets. 4 rocky planets, two gas giants, and two ice giants.
  • Formation of Earth

    (4.5 billion years ago) Earth was formed by a series of collisions with other planets and dust. Dense metals sank to the centre of the Earth and formed the core. The outside layers solidified to form the crust.
  • Moon Formation

    (60 million years ago) Something the size of Mars crashed into Earth, knocked debris off of it and created the moon. The moon stayed in orbit around the Earth.
  • Primary Accretion Stage

    (first 0 to 10 million years of the solar system) Dust is colliding into each other. They attach slowly to create bigger clumps
  • Solar System Formed

    The solar system first formed 4.6 billion years ago.
  • Birth of the Sun

    (4.6 billion years ago) The star exploded and sent a shock wave through the universe. The ripple caused gas to gravitationally collapse and form the sun and a protoplanetary disk around it.
  • Period: to 1 CE

    Millions of Years Ago

    It is in correspondence with millions of years. Aka. 4600 = 4600 millions years ago.
