"Snowball Earth" refers to a hypothesized period in Earth's history during which the planet's surface became extensively covered by ice, potentially reaching the equator. This phenomenon is thought to have occurred during the late Neoproterozoic Era, particularly in two main episodes: around 717 to 650 million years ago (the Sturtian glaciation) and around 600 million years ago (the Marinoan glaciation).
