    All oxygen on earth came from sun !!

    Suppose when the earth took the rigid shape before forming the environment upon it, do you think that the longterm consistent journey of solar winds on earth carried "oxygen" from sun over here.

    Or, the evolution of earth and all other things formed here at the same time, earth formation+environment formation both things are equally formed !

    Or the environment was ready here and later earth formed ! and later "ozone" formed !

    I think "Mission-Genesis" has proved that the travelling solar wind on earth having ample oxygen.

    Or the sun rays are doing everytime bifercation of water to retain the oxygen on earth, but what before the sea(s) on earth !

    So what assumption can we draw !

    Moved from OTB to ATM.
    Everything I need to know I learned through Googling.

    The solar wind is composed of ions, not atoms or molecules.

    Oxygen is the third most abundant element in the universe.
    On Earth, it is liberated from compounds by life on a continual basis.
    If this was not so there would be little if any free oxygen.

    Does oxygen in the solar wind have a unique isotope ratio signature?

    If the sun was pumping so much oxygen at the planets, why is the Earth both the only planet with life and with free oxygen in the atmosphere?

    in the early formation and now later to a lesser extent, the arrival rate and amounts of elemental compounds concentrated into areas of the planetary disc was subjected to fractional distillation processes, from the ionic state outgoing in the solar wind.
    With the added effect of decompression / expansive cooling as the ambient temperature of the radiational pressure drops inverse to distance from the sun, to below the level needed to maintain the ionization of the free atoms, they can randomly start to deionize back into elemental molecules.

    The distance out from the sun would be different for each element, resulting in overlapping bands of concentrations that would interact to form molecules of common compounds, at some distance commiserate with stability of solar activity level, and local turbulences, out close to the heliopause, resulting in the Orrt cloud production as a residual effect of the clumping of most of the heavy matter into planetary bodies.
    At these limits the forces of self gravitation, adhesion, and cohesion would be the strongest around, causing further clumping of matter together, until the gravitational force of attraction toward the sun overcomes the radiational pressure, and the clump starts to drift back toward the sun.
    When these clumps, concentrate large enough they can fall sun ward fast enough to remain intact till they can be swept into the planetary bodies, and their moons still forming... micro to macro comets.
    Any parts not gathered into forming the resulting planets, become melted, evaporated then again ionized, and swept back out on the solar wind to be recycled another time.
    The resultant compositions of the planets and their atmospheres, are the ongoing result of these actions. Once on the Earth the environmental action can change then into the compounds, that result. The difference between O2 and Ozone O3 is a direct result of the difference of the magnetic susceptibility, (resistance to magnetic conduction) is about a thousand fold less for Ozone, so it's formation and maintainance is solely a function of the conservation of energy forming Ozone and the decay rate of O3 back to O2 as the ambient level of electromagnetic flux drops to lower or non production levels. Hole in the ozone at the South pole in Northern summer, contained by circular global winds is a nice example.

    Actually, the Earth's oxygen came from PREVIOUS suns that supernova'ed and created heavier elements in this region of space....

    JustA...Yep. The origin of the elements has three components. Big Bang Nucleosynthesis...~ the first ten (including oxygen). Stellar fusion ...slow cooking in H-R main sequence stars and red giants,too. Supernovae.

    Are you implying here that BBN is responsible for the creation of elements all the way up to oxygen?
