... How long did solar system formation take? Millions or billions of years? Mitch Raemsch Evidence like craters on planet Selene (the Moon) suggest that the Solar System was pretty much in its present form about 4 billion years ago. So, to use a total age of 4.5 billion years, it would be safe to say that it took something less than 500 million years for the Solar System to form. Most scientists agree that it only took a few million years. happy days and... starry starry nights! -- Indelibly yours, Paine Ellsworth P.S.: http://yummycake.secretsgolden.com http://garden-of-ebooks.blogspot.com http://painellsworth.net |

The Earth had lots of gas in the biggining, but being so close to the Sun, lost much of it over time due to the solar wind and the Earth's relatively modest gravity. However, its magnetic field did help it keep as much atmosphere as it has. Double-A |
