All rights reserved Hydrogen Helium Big Bang Theory  The UV rays from the sun broke-up water into hydrogen, oxygen and the lighter H2 escaped.  Oxygen combined with ammonia and methane to form water, CO2 and other molecules.  Oxygen reacted and formed ozone layer (which act as a shield for our present environment) around primitive Earth.  As water vapour condensed, it fell as rain, to fill all the depressions and form oceans.  Life originated approximately 4 billion years ago when it became suitable to support life. © 2022, Aakash BYJU'S.
