The video explores the early formation of Earth and the moon. It begins with volcanic eruptions that created steam, forming clouds and rain. The planet Thea collided with Earth, leading to the moon's formation. The moon retained water molecules from Earth, preserved in its volcanic rock. Earth's water mainly came from comets, which brought ice that filled the oceans. Some volcanic water crystallized beneath Earth's surface. US astronauts collected moon rock samples, enhancing our understanding of planetary formation.
