Earth is just the right distance from the Sun so that water can exist in liquid form. That's why we have oceans. Earth is the only planet where water exists at the surface as a liquid because it is neither too hot nor too cold. Water exists on other solar system bodies but usually as ice. Exceptions may be subsurface liquid water on Titan (just like the Lake Vostok in Antarctica far below the ice) and liquid water flows on Mars as the seasons change.
The Earth formed around 4.5 billion years ago, and over a period of many millions of years, water was brought to earth by meteors and comets, and it was also released by volcanoes. Once the Earth's temperature became cool enough, water could condense into clouds and form the oceans.
