This primordial water makes up 30% to 50% of the water on Earth, the researchers estimate. “It’s pretty amazing that a significant fraction of water on Earth predates the sun and the solar ...

But most of Earth's water is deep underground: between one and ten times the volume of the oceans are contained in the mantle. At the surface of the Earth, "water" means two hydrogens for each ...
