Earth According to Science
According to Science The Earth The origins of our planet are shrouded in mystery, but thanks to the efforts of scientists and researchers, we have been able to piece together a rough timeline of how the Earth formed. According to current scientific understanding, the Earth was formed approximately 4.54 billion years ago through a process known as accretion. Accretion refers to the process by which particles and small bodies come together to form a larger object. In the case of the Earth, this process began with the formation of a solar nebula, a cloud of gas and dust left over from the formation of our sun.
