Answer to Question 1

ANS:Answer

 Stars began condensing via accretion about 1 billion years ago.
 Accretion is a process that brings smaller particles together into larger masses.
 The Earth began to form as elements condensed from a cloud of dust and gas.
 Ocean formation begins when the Earth's surface is extremely hot. Water vapor began
escaping to the surface through volcanic activity and outgassing. The vapor eventually
cooled and condensed to form the ocean approximately 4 billion years ago.
