Earth’s water is older than the sun 
www.worldweatheronline.com
What’s this about? 
A new study has suggested that some water molecules that 
we shower with and drink, could be more than 4.6 billion 
years old. To put in perspective, that is older than the Solar 
System itself! 
www.worldweatheronline.com
Water sure gets around… 
Water is found throughout the 
Solar System, not just on Earth 
but even on comets and moons. 
It has even been found included 
in mineral samples from the 
Moon and Mars. 
Comets and asteroids, in 
particular, provide an idea about 
the conditions during the early 
days of our Solar System.

The study 
The study, led by L Illsedore Cleeves from the University of Michigan, 
focused on the history of our Solar System. The team focused on 
hydrogen and its heavier isotope deuterium. 
The scientists used computer models designed to simulate the 
evolution of a planetary system. 
The models indicated that levels of deuterium now found in Earth’s 
water are too high to have occurred after the formation of the sun.
Is there anybody out there? 
As the study suggests that 
since some of Earth’s water 
came from interstellar space, 
there may be water in other 
planetary systems. 
This possibility could affect the 
study into extra-terrestrial life, 
as the presence of water has 
the ability to sustain life.
