Planet Earth is made from meteors. Each meteors contained Hydrogen and Oxygen (H20). 5% of the rock was water.
When Earth settled down and the top layer became solid (The Crust) but still really hot, that 5% from every rock evaporated causing clouds that would rain from thousands of years.

What is the driest planet?
Earth is the wettest known planet. It is the only planet known to have liquid water. The only other planet with any form of water is Mars with ice on one of the poles.
How did water come to planet earth?
a large ice asteroid came form space and hit earth malt with volcano
When did the earth form as a solid planet?
The Earth formed from the young Sun's accretion disk about 4.5 billion years ago. At first the planet was molten, but the surface of the Earth cooled enough for the crust to solidify about 4.1 billion years ago. Scientists believe that water arrived later in the form of comet impacts, forming the first oceans.
How far form the earth is your planet?
Er ... which planet exactly do you think that we come from? As far as science can discover, Earth IS the only planet with life on it, so you're asking how far Earth is from Earth.
Why earth is the only habitable planet?
earth is the only known habitable place because its the only one with water, food, and has the right temperature range for life as we know it, but scientists are discovering planets a lot like earth, but none are habitable for humans
Did planet earth form from drops of water or grains of dust?
Grains of dust.
Is most of earths water is in the form of ice?
Most of earth's fresh water is in the form of ice.Remember that more than 70% of the planet is covered with water -- sea water, making up about 96.5% of earth's water.
What is the driest planet?
Earth is the wettest known planet. It is the only planet known to have liquid water. The only other planet with any form of water is Mars with ice on one of the poles.
Does Saturn have presence and form of water?
Yes it does. Actually it has the same forms as planet Earth does.
Which planet has water in the form of ice on its poles?
The planet s that have ice on their poles are earth mars, and no others that we know of now
Is water on planet earth decreasing?
no it wont decrease at all because water evaporates but can return to its normal form
How did water come to planet earth?
a large ice asteroid came form space and hit earth malt with volcano
What does mars have incommon with one other planet?
Mars has water in the form of ice, and as water vapor in its atmosphere like the earth.
Which is the only planet that has water in all 3 phases?
So far, Earth is the only planet we know of that has all three states of water.The three states of water are: liquid, solid (ice) and gas (water vapor).
What is shared by every life-form on your planet?
All the successive species on Earth have drunk the same water.
Why does the water on Earth drain on Earth?
If by the question you mean why did the water on earth drain onto the earth, there may be an explanation. It is believed that water on earth "drained onto" our planet because after earth's molten form cooled, it captured (by gravity) icy forms like the comets we know today. Enough ice (frozen water) arrived here from space to make out planet a wet one.
Why is the water on the earth sometimes found as a solid or a liquid?
It is also found as a gas. This is because Earth orbits its star at a distance where the heat form the star is enough for water to be present in the liquid form. Extremes on the planet then allow for water to be solid and vapor in places.
