Scientists believe that phosphorus on Earth was created through nucleosynthesis in the core of massive stars, where lighter elements were fused together under high temperatures and pressures. This process enriched the universe with heavier elements, which were then scattered into space through supernova explosions and eventually incorporated into planets like Earth.
No, phosphorus is just a nonmetal element.ANSWERPhosphorus is the eleventh most abundant element in the Earth's crust at about 0.12% or 1000 ppm.
Though we haven't been to the core of the Earth to see what is there, no thinking geologist would suggest there is any phosphorus in the Earth's core. The core of the Earth is thought to contain mostly iron and some nickel. There will also be some heavy metals, but no phosphorus. Phosphorus is a low density metal, and is actually less dense than water! It would not have sunk into the molten core of the earth during planetary differentiation while earth was forming and taking on its early structure.
The imaginary sphere created by scientists that surrounds the Earth is called the celestial sphere. It is used as a way to map and locate stars and other celestial objects in the sky as they appear from Earth's perspective. The celestial sphere helps astronomers describe the positions and movements of objects in the night sky.
Yes, phosphorus is found in the earth's crust, typically in the form of phosphates. It is an essential element for life and is commonly used in fertilizers and agricultural applications. Additionally, phosphorus is present in rocks, minerals, and organic matter in the soil.
Most of Earth's phosphorus is located in rocks and minerals, with a small amount found in soil, water, and living organisms. It is released through weathering of rocks and gradually makes its way through the phosphorus cycle.
We may possibly know how Earth was created.
Scientists believe that the first gases that created the atmosphere came from volcanic activity and the release of gases from the Earth's interior.
No, but some scientists do study how the earth, the solar system and the universe came to be based on observations of the universe today and in the past and our understanding of the "laws of physics."

Scientists who study earth's oceans are called oceanographers.

Scientists who study Earth's surface and interior are called Geologists.
