Answer:

Heavy bombardment, solar wind, condensation, frost line, planetesimal, accretion, solar nebula, radiometric dating

Explanation:

The first few hundred million years of the solar system 19s history were the time of the heavy bombardment, during which Earth suffered many large impacts.

The era of planet formation ended when the remaining hydrogen and helium gas of the solar nebula was swept into interstellar space by the solar wind.

Ice can form from a gas through the process of condensation.

Hydrogen compounds in the solar system can condense into ices only beyond frost line.

Our Moon was most likely formed by a collision between Earth and a Mars-sized planetesimal.

Mars was formed by the accretion of smaller objects.

Our solar system was created by the gravitational collapse of the solar nebula.

Radiometric dating allows us to determine the age of a solid rock.
