To be fair, isn't that also how this one earth like planet called "Earth" used to look like?

[-] [email protected] 16 points 1 year ago

still does in some places.

also doesn't earth-like mean atmosphere and in the Goldilocks zone?

[-] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

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

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.
