Water vapor is released by volcanos. It is possible that the earliest water vapor came from volcanos.
Explanation:
There has always been oxygen in the atmosphere of the earth. Water vapor breaks apart into Hydrogen gas and Oxygen gas under the radiation from the sun. The water vapor must have been in the atmosphere from the earliest beginnings of the earth, as evidenced by the presence of Oxygen in the earliest rocks.
Volcanos are known to release large volumes of water along with the volcanic ash and lava. It is possible that volcanos were responsible for the earliest occurrence of water.
