Origin of the Earth

A model illustrating the stages of Earth’s formation typically begins with the primordial accretion of dust and gas around 4.6 billion years ago, leading to the formation of a molten planet. As the planet cooled, a solid crust formed, followed by the development of oceans and the early atmosphere. The model may then depict the formation of the first continents through volcanic activity and tectonic processes. Over time, the gradual development of complex life forms and the stabilization of climate conditions contributed to the Earth as we know it today.
