Earth

Earth is the third Planet from the Sun in the Solar System, located about 149.600.000 kilometers away. If we turn off the Sun, at this distance, the light should be about 8 minutes on Earth before become dark. It is estimated that the age of the Earth is about 4.54 billion years. In theory the Earth was created from the Nebula, with gas, dust and ice grains. That cloud is in the midst of collapsing gravity began to spin and straightened the round disc. Then, Planets are beginning to grow. Bits of dust and ice, circling around the young Sun, colliding and merging, were becoming larger and so have shaped our Planet. In the fierce mutual collisions of these huge building blocks were created Planets.

Moon orbiting the Earth, it was formed by the collision of two large bodies. One is the size of Mars, another of today’s Earth, which was later a smaller body, remained circling around the Earth. We call it Moon. Part of the collision threw debris into Space and some remained on the Moon and Earth. In these collisions, our Planet was hot and after cooling the surface of the Planet began to diverse life on Earth. It happened around one billion years after the occurrence. On the Planet also developed a very rich range of elements. Some of which were created on Planet and some have come from outer Space.
