Study Finds Earth and Mars Formed Differently from Same Cosmic Cloud
Researchers at the Globe Institute, University of Copenhagen, studied the formation of Earth and Mars, revealing that although both planets originated from the same rotating cloud of gas and dust, they formed through different processes. Earth's mass mainly came from larger protoplanets that grew by accreting pebbles, while Mars's mass primarily originated from smaller planetesimals formed by collisions. The study analyzed volatile elements and was published in Nature Astronomy, providing new insights into planetary formation 4.5 billion years ago.
