The isotopic composition of the bulk Earth appears to be more consistent
with chondrites than with comets, researchers said. There are many
different types of chondrites, and no single group is a perfect match. So
our planet probably accreted its water and other volatiles from a variety
of chondrite parent asteroids, they added.
