Earth's Oceans - Earth Discover

An artist's depiction of a "hot Jupiter," one of the most frequently discovered types of exoplanets near our solar system. In about a billion years, as the Sun continues to evolve and heat up, Earth's oceans will evaporate, transforming our planet into a "hot Earth."

~1 Billion: The Future of Earth’s Oceans – Evaporation in a Brighter Sun

As the Sun gradually brightens, Earth will experience rising temperatures leading to the evaporation of oceans and eventually transforming into a dry, desert world, potentially rendering it uninhabitable within a billion years

This artist's concept illustrates Earth at the transition from the Hadean to the Archean eon, depicting the time when liquid-water seas and oceans first stabilized on the surface. The image also shows large impact basins, similar to those on the Moon, indicating ongoing bombardment by asteroids and comets.

c. 4 Billion BCE: The Genesis of Earth’s Oceans – From the Hadean Eon to the Present

Explores the formation of Earth's oceans, tracing back to the Hadean eon's volcanic eruptions and gas emissions. It discusses how water transitioned from steam to liquid, the potential internal and external sources of water, and [...]
