I’m voting to close this question because it seems likely to be AI generated... fairly non-pertinent stats (that they don't connect) and random connected link without explanation?  And just the tone doesn't sound particularly human to me?

This post contains at least two questions at once. If it were about the origins of water on Earth, it would've been a very broad question since there are multiple hypotheses. If it were about the energy released during formation of 1.4 million km³ of water that would've be an entirely different questions. The first one with a bit more focus could be on topic on this site. The other one is more of an astronomy question about origins of water in the Solar System.

**Water on our planet, where did it come from?**

A water molecule is created when two atoms of hydrogen combine with one atom of oxygen. W

The volume of all water (on our planet) is about 332.5 million cubic miles (mi3), or 1,386 million cubic kilometers (km3). A cubic mile of water equals more than 1.1 trillion gallons. A cubic kilometer of water equals about 264 billion gallons (1 trillion liters)
