Earth was a toxic lifeless world until Thea, another planet smashed into it and they both fused, creating our Earth. even today, Thea lies right beneath our toes. A smaller chunk of Thea formed The Moon. Then slowly our oceans formed until life on Earth was ready to begin.

Good question; too bad we don't have any good answers.

Our Sun, we believe, formed about 5.5 billion years ago. Most of the Earth's surface has been melted, molded and recycled by the process of late tectonics and vuncanism, but there is one small area of northern Canada that have the oldest known rocks, at a little over 4 billion years. So we know that the Earth itself existed that long ago.

So did the Earth coalesce at the same time the Sun did, or was that a gradual process over the next billion or so years? I'm not sure that anyone knows the answer to this.

What is the general composition of all inner planets?

the mass and the weight of all gas planets. And when you form them to be all as one then you can make sure that you see the solar system as one and you want to be perfect with the way that you do it. So when you take all the planets together and you take away the ones that are not gas planets then you add the mass and the weight of the planets and then you get the general composition of all of the basic inner planets.
