How They Start
It's like when you shake a bag of jelly beans, the bigger ones sink to the bottom. In space, tiny bits of rock and dust spin around a young star. Over time, they stick together, growing bigger and bigger until they form solid planets. That’s how Earth started, from tiny pieces zooming around the Sun!
Growing Up
Once a planet forms, it keeps changing. Just like you grow taller as you get older, terrestrial planets can change too. Volcanoes erupt, mountains rise, and oceans form. Earth went through wild changes, it was hot, then cooled down, and life started growing on its surface.
So, the formation is like building a robot from parts, and the evolution is how that robot learns new tricks over time! Imagine you're building a super cool robot from tiny parts, that’s kind of like how terrestrial planets are made!
Formation and evolution of terrestrial planets is all about how rocks, dust, and gas in space come together to make worlds like Earth, Mars, or Venus.

Examples
- Earth started as a molten ball that slowly cooled over millions of years.
- Volcanoes helped shape Earth's surface during its early life.
