I believe that the "bees" are paired with words like "for" in the chart to draw similarities to the word "before"? 172.68.54.34 21:49, 20 November 2019 (UTC)

Agreed. Has been changed. 172.68.132.155 21:59, 20 November 2019 (UTC)

Not quite. The Earth formed with the rest of the solar system. And since "Rocky planets form" is shown earlier, it's presumably refers to rocky planets in the universe -- in other, older star systems, rather than our own. (The universe had already been around for a good 10,000,000,000 years before the Earth formed.) --Aaron of Mpls (talk)
