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.

The oldest known rocks on Earth are somewhere in the 4.25 billion year age range. This would indicate that parts of the surface had solidified by, or prior to, this time.

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.
