Water in the Solar System (IMAGE)
Caption
The dashed white line in this illustration shows the boundary between the inner solar system and outer solar system, with the asteroid belt positioned roughly in between Mars and Jupiter. A bubble near the top of the image shows water molecules attached to a rocky fragment, demonstrating the kind of object that could have carried water to Earth.
