In trying to unravel the mystery of life, almost every individual cannot help but asked how planet Earth was formed. A newly proposed theory offers a sound answer to such enigmatic query.

Theories abound concerning the formation of our planet. A new addition would be the theory proposed by Alexander Hubbard. Hubbard possesses Ph.D. in Astronomy and is currently connected with the American Museum of Natural History.

Similar to previous theories, the so-called "Hubbard Theory" turns to the mighty sun for an explanation. In Hubbard's version on how the Earth was formed, he explained that the sun went through "a period of intense volatility," according to BGR.

Such instability of the sun later on roasted much of the material in its immediate vicinity, extending up to Mars region. The softened materials in space then bunched up and formed planets, as we know it today. Thus, explaining the existence of rocky worlds, including Mercury, Venus, Mars, and our own planet Earth.

The theory was not merely drawn on a sheet of paper without any basis, for the Hubbard Theory of how the Earth was formed is has an actual point of reference. The astronomer based his idea on an infant star's observed behavior, which also experienced a similar phase mentioned in his proposed theory.

The Hubbard theory although a new one also sounds reasonable. However, similarities could still be traced from the currently accepted Earth formation theory.

The largely accepted theory concerning how our home planet was formed still anchors its central premise with the existence of our sun. However, there was no extreme heating involved which roasted and then softened materials near the sun.

The Earth's rocky core was formed with heavy elements colliding and binding together, according to Space. The gravity caused many clumped together the remaining materials after the sun was formed.
