To be fair, isn't that also how this one earth like planet called "Earth" used to look like?
still does in some places.
also doesn't earth-like mean atmosphere and in the Goldilocks zone?
I think earth-like just means a rocky planet.
But not for long in a sense, right?
The hadrean period (lava earth) was approximately as long as there have been vertebrates. So pretty long!
yeah but speaking from personal experience at least, i cant remember the last time the earth was covered in lava
cant imagine having to walk up hill through lava both ways on my way to school
For about half a billion years Earth was mostly molten on the surface. So about 11% of the time. And then we've had major glaciation periods especially the cryongenian that lasted 78M years about 640M years ago.
More info from this Kurzgesagt video on earth's history: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S7TUe5w6RHo
Eventually got different, but it did linger a while at both stages.
