How did Earth acquire its vast and essential supply of water?
In short: Water covers more than 70% of our planet and constitutes about 60% of the human body. This video explores the ancient origins of Earth's water and why liquid water is so rare elsewhere in our solar system.
Zachary Metz investigates the mystery of how Earth became so uniquely water-rich. While water cycles constantly between oceans, rivers, and clouds, finding liquid water in the rest of the solar system remains nearly impossible. This exploration seeks to uncover the ancient processes that delivered this vital substance to our world.
