A study by researchers from Universities of Glasgow, Scotland, and Curtin, Australia, point out that the Earth’s likely source of water is the Sun, but how is that possible?
According to the research, the origin of water in the Earth’s oceans and seas may be linked to solar winds. The researchers believe that this type of particle flow transported hydrogen ions to oxygen atoms present in asteroid rocks, enabling the formation of water.

Loaded with water, which is considered common in meteors, these celestial bodies would have reached planet Earth for 4.6 billion years, constituting a fundamental part for the planet to become habitable, even though it does not represent all the water on Earth.
“Half a glass of sun in every glass of water,” says researcher and study leader Luke Daly.
Professor Phil Bland, co-author of the research, pointed out that solar winds must have made water “on the surface of small dust grains, and this isotopically lighter water probably supplied the rest of the Earth’s water.”
