origin of the earth

about 4.540 million years ago, the earth was nothing more than a mass of molten rock in formation.

there were no oceans
there was no breathable atmosphere
there was no life

only chaos, collisions and extreme heat.


solar system

> solar system

everything started from a cloud of gas and dust:

  • called solar nebula
  • that collapsed by gravity
  • forming the sun in the center

around it, the rest of the material began to group together.


primitive earth

> artistic representation of primitive earth

the earth formed from:

  • constant collisions of rocks
  • accumulation of material
  • violent impacts

for millions of years.

it was a completely hostile place:

  • extreme temperatures
  • constant volcanoes
  • meteorite bombardment

great impact

> ai generated representation of the great impact

one of the most important events:

an object the size of mars impacted the earth

from that collision:

  • debris arose in orbit
  • that would end up forming the moon

little by little:

  • the surface began to cool
  • the crust formed
  • the first oceans appeared

and with them… the possibility of life.
