Between about 4 and 4.5 billion years ago the solar system was rather chaotic. There were many more asteroids and planetoids with unstable orbits. As a result collisions were much more common in the early solar system. Since then most objects with unstable orbits either collided with planets and moons or with the sun or were ejected from the solar system.
What else can I help you with?
Why did more craters form 4 to 5 billion years ago?
More craters formed 4 to 5 billion years ago because during that time, the solar system was still forming and there was a higher rate of impacts by asteroids and comets. This period is known as the "Late Heavy Bombardment" where the inner planets, including Earth, were bombarded with debris left over from the formation of the solar system.
How long ago was our solar system formed?
Sciences say that the sun was formed 4,600,000 years ago
When did the craters get on mercury?
The craters on Mercury, like those on other planetary bodies, formed over billions of years from impacts by asteroids and comets. The majority of Mercury's craters were likely formed during the early history of the solar system, roughly between 4.5 to 3.5 billion years ago.
The Archean Eon spans the time from the formation of the Earth until years ago?
The Archean Eon spans from the formation of the Earth around 4.6 billion years ago to approximately 2.5 billion years ago. This eon is marked by the formation of the first continents, the emergence of life in the form of prokaryotic cells, and the development of the Earth's atmosphere.
Why did the solar system start with the big bang?
It didn't. The universe formed with the Big Bang about 13.7 billion years ago. Our solar system didn't form until about 4.6 billion years ago.
Did earth form 50 billion years ago or 5?
Earth formed approximately 4.5 billion years ago, not 50 billion years ago or 5 billion years ago. This age estimate is based on radiometric dating of meteorites and rocks on Earth.
