The solar system experienced the period of heaviest planetary impacts during the Late Heavy Bombardment, which occurred approximately 4.1 to 3.8 billion years ago. This era was characterized by a significant increase in asteroid and comet collisions with the inner planets, including Earth, the Moon, and Mars. The Late Heavy Bombardment is thought to have played a crucial role in shaping the geological and atmospheric conditions of these bodies.
