Fact 51 : Where did the water on Earth come from?
It is highly likely that we got all of our water from asteroids and comets that landed on Earth.
This is because a asteroids landed in someone's front garden recently and when scientists examined the asteroid scientists found h20 solid molecules (ice) in side the asteroid. This is according to a scientist on BBC radio 4 (I think it was the news but I honestly can't remember). I have also research it on Google to double check. Basically water was formed in ice which got trapped in rock. This happened far away from the sun where temperatures are near zero degrees centigrade the edge of our solar system. So Earth (we) inhabited  water from outer space how cool is that!
