- How did water and water vapor form on early Earth?
- The Sun stripped away Earth's first atmosphere
- Gases, including water vapor, released by the process of outgassing, replaced the first atmosphere.
- Water vapor in the atmosphere condensed into clouds.
- After millions of years, the clouds cooled enough for water droplets to form.
- Hot rain fell and boiled back into the clouds.
- Eventually, the surface cooled enough for water to collect in basins.
