A recent PBS documentary did a great job talking about all the changes the earth has gone through:

They had a series on planets and some of their history too.

Growing up I honestly thought that planets evolved into a sort of natural stable state that I guess I assumed would last until the sun or other external force decided otherwise. But it’s interesting how throughout time the earth has dramatically changed due to “minor” changes like volcanic activity changes, the introduction of, water, oxygen, or bacteria or other chemicals.

I had thought the sun and distance from it really was the determining factor as far as the temperature generally goes.
