The origin of the Earth

5000 milion of years ago

50,000 BCE

The sun was surrounded by cosmic dust. Gravity was forming the Earth by the attraction between the cosmic particles in the dust.

There was a collision between the Earth and another planet. Because this, the moon was formed.

3900 milion years ago

When the moon was formed and the Earth was more stable, there was a meteor shower. These meteorites carried water particles inside it. After milions of years oceans were formed.

3800 milion years ago

38,000 BCE

The volcanos rised and formed volcanic island. Another more violent meteorite shower arrived.
These brought minerals, amino acids and carbon that will end uo at the bottom of the ocean.In the depths, certain chemical combinations are formed that give rise to the first unicellular life forms.

600 milion years ago

6000 BCE

The Earth becomes more stable. A warm climate returns. The days last around 22 hours.

180 milion years ago

1800 BCE
