Where does water come from ?
It is often mentioned that water came purely from comet impacts on Earth.
I doubt that. And i will explain why, this is my opinion :
The Earth is constantly bombarded by the sun with protons and electrons called the solarwind.
These currents of electrons and protons are captured in at the magnetic poles of the Earth (The magnetosphere) called Birkeland currents and released in the atmosphere and recombine there.
A hydrogen atom is comprised of a single proton and a single electron.
Water is made of 1 oxygen atom and 2 hydrogen atoms.
So we get free ionized hydrogen(The solarwind) from the sun into our atmosphere.
And oxygen is a very reactive material. It is very electronegative, meaning it wants electrons. And hydrogen has an electron to share.
But where does the oxygen come from to make water?
Well from iron meteorites and from the Earth crust it self. Oxygen is the most abundant element found in oxides in the Earth crust.
So we have an atmosphere filled with oxygen. Millions of years ago , the amount of oxygen in the atmosphere was even higher.
And then the solarwind of the sun releases protons and electrons which can recombine into hydrogen.
Hydrogen then links with oxygen to form watermolecules and that is how the majority of water was and still is generated in Earths atmosphere and eventually filled lakes and rivers on land, and filled the sea.
Besides water containing Ice riddled comet impacts.
Over millions of years, the amount of oxygen in the atmosphere was getting lower and nitrogen levels rised.
This is known to be true.

About Birkeland currents.
Birkeland current | Plasma-Universe.com
A Birkeland current usually refers to the electric currents in a planet's ionosphere that follows magnetic field lines (ie field-aligned currents), and sometimes used to described any field-aligned electric current in a space plasma.[3] They are caused by the movement of a plasma perpendicular...
