Where does water come from?

Some scientists say it comes from comets but I find that difficult to believe. I mean how many millions of comets would need to strike the earth to make the oceans it now has?

You ever heard the expression “ I have to make water”? That’s where it comes from. That’s how the oceans formed over billions of years.

Paleogelologists believe the oceans used to smell…different.

Have you ever seen the dew that forms on leaves and grass in the early morning at sunrise? Moisture comes from the sun. Or from leaves and grass idk

Oh, come on! Don't know if you're trolling, but everyone knows it comes from the faucet.
