The Earth Odyssey: What is the History of our Planet ? | History of the Earth Documentary

🌍 The history of the Earth starts from the first seconds of its formation. It has been unfolding for almost 4.6 billion years now. Marked by mass extinctions, catastrophic episodes but also periods of stability, the Earth never stops evolving. Mysterious blue planet of the universe, it is the only one known today to shelter a human life form.
Here is a look back at its accretion and evolution. In order to represent more easily the time scale, the values of billions and millions of years are reduced to twelve hours, i.e. one turn of the dial. The accretion of the Earth occurs at 00h00 and the year 2022 is represented by 12h00. During these twelve hours we will go through four chronological periods: the Hadean, the Archean, the Proterozoic and the Phanerozoic.

🔥 As a reminder, the videos are published on SUNDAYS at 6:00 PM.

💥 Earth History:
- Now 4.54 billion years ago, the accretion of the Earth begins with the formation of the Sun. A few million years earlier, the gravitational collapse of a tiny part of a molecular cloud made our star appear. A disk of gas and dust forms around the young celestial body. These grains slowly clump together until they form small solid bodies, the first fruits of planets in the making, the planetesimals. Under the effect of gravity, these planetesimals reach up to a few kilometers in diameter, eventually forming embryos of planets while clearing the disk of its original dust. The farther the orbits are from the Sun, the more massive they are since they find more material to agglomerate along their path. After a certain distance from the Sun, the planets are able to attract the gases of clouds made of hydrogen and helium until they collapse on themselves giving birth to the gas giants that we know well: Jupiter and Saturn. Uranus and Neptune being smaller, they do not keep the gases but only their core of rock and ice. The planets that form closer to the Sun are called telluric, they are composed of rocks and metals. They are violently struck when their orbits cross to such an extent that only four remain: Mars, Venus, Mercury and Earth. The formation of all these planets lasts 100 million years.

Theia, a protoplanet, wanders in a stable zone of the cosmos, at the same distance from the Sun as the Earth. As it reaches the size of Mars, Theia is destabilized by the gravitational influence of the other planets. Its orbit becomes chaotic and it violently collides with the young Earth in formation 4.52 billion years ago. The shock is so violent that the iron core of Theia plunges into the heart of the Earth. The rest of the planet and part of the Earth's mantle are ejected into the cosmos. All these materials in orbit around the Earth eventually gather and give birth to the satellite that is the Moon, some 22 500 kilometers. The Moon stabilizes the Earth's axis of rotation and slows down this same movement by the phenomenon of tidal friction, which explains why at that time a day lasts only 6 hours and a year has 1,434 days.

Thank you for your fascinating journey through time and space.

[makmak]

This is the 3rd time I’ve watched this. I will need 5 more times to absorb what I need. This was excellent

[jonkline]

For the people who put this all together thank you very much I’m 67 no rocket scientist but I really enjoy this

[AnandKumar-bktd]

One of the best documentaries ever seen in the concerned topic. Thanks for such beautiful and informative video.

[antonyhunt]

For some one who loves things like this . Its the best way to explain it all to me

[jerhyelvalerio]

Give the cameraman an Oscar for surviving space age, dino, Cenozoic ages.

[henrikmartikainen]

Than you for this excellent presentation

[krystalanderson]

I am a paleontologist this is a very great quality documentary I wish allot more people would watch it thanks for all your hard work to put this out there right to the point not looking n draw out get visuals

[doublemosasaur]

The thumbnail just looks so freaking beautiful

[prototropo]

A noble effort, and nice imagery. But I felt the text was choppy, with transitions sporadic, and some segments anachronistic, or oddly repeated after intervening diversions. Just needs a good editor to slap events into consistently sequential logic.

[wendykleeb]

My favorite geologic history/life on earth video!

[HienTran-rxcu]

You are good for make this video I think it wonderful 😊 when I watch it so interesting, the story could be right ..thank you.

[mrgamar]

As a student of Geology, It’s very helpful for me.Thanks a lot ❤️❤️

[Kevin-cgqk]

I remember not too long ago you would be hard pressed to find documentaries like this. And even if you found one it would be in terrible quality. Technology really does keep getting better.

[jeffromoneyfamily]

Thank you for the knowledge. It's up to us as people to gain wisdom from it. The wise old owl 🦉 sat on an oak, the more he say the less he spoke, the less he spoke the more he heard. Why can't I be like that wise old bird 🦉

[philliplyn]

Loving this one thanks for sharing very information blessed love to all knowledge is power hopefully everyone pays attention keep up the good work 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲

[blueberry-rieb]

Very educational but could do without the background music.

[JimKrause]

One of the best videos I have ever watched!

[miteshraja]

Hats off to the camera man going back in time for the amazing footage😂

[mariasideris]

Thank you for educating us for our planet
