Accretion: The process by which Earth formed from clumps of gas, dust, rock, and ice. Solar Nebula: A spinning disc of gas and dust from which the Sun and planets formed. Differentiation: The process by which Earth’s layers (core, mantle, crust) formed due to varying densities. Hadean Eon: The earliest period in Earth’s history, characterized by a molten surface. Outgassing: The release of gases from Earth’s interior, which contributed to the formation of the atmosphere.
