Where did the water of the planets come from?




Scientists have always wondered where the water on Earth came from or what is still on Mars, because Mars still has water or in the icy moons outside of Jupiter and Saturn, because the moon Europa has an ocean under the icy surface, as well as Ganymede and Callisto, it is believed that all the large moons of all the large icy moons of the solar system may have masses of liquid water under the surface.


And where did all that water come from? In research published in the scientific journal Nature on May 14, it was reported that the James Webb telescope had discovered crystalline water ice in a disk of dusty debris that orbits a star similar to the sun located 155 light years away from us. years.




The star is a little more massive than the sun and a little hotter and this causes all the frozen water that James Webb detected and which is accompanied by dust particles or like balls of dirty snow since they are at a certain distance from the star, because if they were closer that water ice would turn into steam and the solar wind from that star would end up expelling that vapor outwards, so in the warm zone the zone where planets like the Earth form, planets in the habitable zone there is no water, there is further away.




And this research confirms what we have suspected for a long time, many astronomers and researchers suspected that the temperate zone, the zone where Venus is, where the Earth is, where Mars is, there was no water in those zones because the water in the form of ice had to be further away in a colder zone of the solar system, the temperate zone was too warm for water ice to exist and as I already told you, if any ice approached that zone it ended up transforming into steam due to the heat. from the sun and then the solar wind expelled it to the outside, so the water from the Earth or from Mars or what was formerly on Venus had to come through comets and icy asteroids, rain bombardments from comets, were what ultimately formed the oceans of the Earth and may be what end up forming the oceans of the planets that are orbiting that star in the future, a 23 million year old baby star.


Maybe it will be a nice place to go in a billion years, which is the date they set when the sun will shine so much and give off so much heat that it will end up vaporizing the Earth's oceans. They say that in 1 billion years it would be the time when the Earth would stop being a habitable place, maybe here there would be interesting planets to live on.
