An early theory of the Earth's formation was that the Earth started out as an extinct sun or nebula, and gradually cooled from that gaseous state to the smaller, solid form we know today. This illustration shows the Earth circulating in space in its gaseous state, from Louis Figuier's The World Before the Deluge, 1867 American edition. | |
