Where Did Water Come From?

Mercury, Venus, and Mars are all super low on water - so where did ours come from and why do we have so much of it? We think our water came from a few unlikely sources: meteorites, space dust, and even the sun.

Also, as the Earth cools, more water is being reabsorbed by the rock. Our oceans will dry up and the planet will be like Mars. I am not sure if this is supposed to happen before 600 million years from now when the Sun will be so hot it will boil all the water off anyway. She said Mars has no water in this episode, but it actually has quite a lot stored in rock, just like Earth. However, Mars' core is dead and all the water has been reabsorbed. It did have surface water and likely oceans at one time.

This is the best Earth Water story that I have ever watched, even from cinematic space documentary series and cable channel productions. Other documentaries about the origin of water have a feel that the film makers didn't understand the details, and so skipped over most of it. Eons talks about the early sun, gravity, heat, pressure, MINERALS, time limits, and most importantly the acknowledgment that billions of years have affected the evidence left for us to study today.

I can get that same kind of feeling from multiverse theory, or, at least, the popular idea of it. Try and picture an infinite array a possibilities, from whether you put on a different shirt this morning to whether Earth never cooled enough for our kind of life to exist, leaving sentience to emerge from, like, interconnected networks of extremophile bacteria. Of all the many ways the history of our planet could have been different, we ended up with the one where we exist, right now, talking to each other. Right now, we're creating that history, and that future, navigating through a tiny, barely-perceived part of an infinite web of possibilities. Life's amazing, is what I'm saying, and it's a miracle it even resembles something familiar.

Actually if you go into organic chemistry you'll see water giving up it's hydrogens and picking up extras (to later relase one of them at random) quite a lot. The destruction of water molecules is rather rare yes but it has quite a lot of turnover in the hydrogen atoms. It's more correct to say that the oxygen atoms involved in water tend to stay as part of water, the hydrogen atoms are more fickle.

@DaDunge Жыл бұрын

Actually she got it slightly wrong. It's not the Pressure it's the pressure of water vapour alone. Each evaporaiton/condensation pairing depends only on it's own pressure as a gas compared to it's temperature as gas and liquid. If we said filled the atmosphere with Argon (which is pretty much intert) we'd not see a drop more rainfall. Thus it's because Earth was so hot after it's colision with Theia that the water vapour pressure could get so high, it was so warm it kept evaporating water even at super high pressures. Until the pressure got so high or the temperature dipped low enough that this equilibrium started shifting the other way and condensation overcame evaporaiton. It's why if we sent water the venus it would not fall as rain, because hwile the Pressure there is likely a lot like the hadean period, it's relative pressure for water vapour is low because if the lack of water in it's atmosphere.

I was able to find out further that the water on earth originally came from a meteor that hit the earth millions of years ago. It can also be seen that dust caused by sunlight contains hydrogen and oxygen which then interact with each other to form water (H2O). Really adds insight!

Why was the atmosphere so heavy, and why did it (relatively) quickly dissipate to the equilibrium it's maintained since? Would love an episode about that. Where the gasses came from, how they accreted/accumulated, and why earth lost that pressure the way it did.

@user-nf9xc7ww7m Жыл бұрын

Exactly. Made me think of the same question: Now they made me think of another question: how did the earth lose the 215 bars of atmosphere in one age (we're down to 1 bar now)? Was it massive solar wind after the faint young sun (paradox) became hotter and more active?

I never knew that the same event that led to the formation of Earth's moon was the same event that allowed water-carrying meteroids to melt on Earth. The moon is more linked to Earth's oceans than I thought!

I remember watching a science fiction show years ago where, as part of terraforming Mars, comets had their orbits adjusted so that they would crash into Mars. Since comets, in the outer solar system at least, are basically dirty snowballs, that might not be a bad idea. You just need to be careful you don't accidently crash one of those comets into Earth.

@DaDunge Жыл бұрын

You'd still need to vapourise them and at the moment Mars doens't have the atmosphere for rocks of crystalized water to vaourise them. Venus might.

@nevbarnes1034 Жыл бұрын

OK--so now work out how many comets it would take to terraform Mars, and how long it would take a comet at average speed to get here from the Kuiper belt.

@fabriziobiancucci7702 Жыл бұрын

In reality it's a bad idea. Today we know that there is a lot of water on Mars, enough to create a shallow ocean. So there is no need to use comets

Sounds like a B movie plot, because you just know that one of the comets is going to escape and end up on a collision course with earth.

These theories don't explain why Venus and Mars lack water. It's odd that this is mentioned right at the top of the video but then never addressed. We can suppose that Mars had water similar to Earth, but that it lost its magnetic field and most of its atmosphere, with any water boiling away to space. But I don't think this explanation works for Venus, which still has a very dense atmosphere.

@Your_Paramour Жыл бұрын

This is my question as well, since presumably Venus and Mars would be subject to similar bombardment to Earth.

@ley5532 Жыл бұрын

Maybe cause Venus is too close to the sun that the pressure was not enough to prevent the water from being evaporated and blasted away by solar winds and its magnetic field

@wamingo Жыл бұрын

Planets are dead stars. When stars cool and shrink they turn into planets. The water was produced here on Earth. . This model explains why earth was once super hot (it was a star) And it explains why earth was also once covered in water. Earth used to look more like Neptune. In the future it'll look more like mars/venus and eventually the moon/mercury - once earths volcanic activity stops regenerating our atmosphere, the oceans have evaporated and the atmosphere blasted away by solar wind.
