Unlimited-Tritium, as a form of Hydrogen, is found naturally in air and water. Most hydrogen is made up of one proton, and an orbital electron, but tritium has two extra neutrons in the nucleus. In nature, it is produced by cosmic rays in two source terms: 14N + 1n ---> 3H + 12Cand2H + 2H ---> 3H + 1
Tritium is not normally considered to be naturally occurring. The amounts produced by cosmic rays are trace. To produce it in meaningful amounts you need either a nuclear reactor or bomb. Besides it decays rapidly, in 61.3 years any present now is effectively gone.

All hydrogen atoms, regardless of the number of neutrons in its isotope (zero neutrons for protium, one for deuterium, two for tritium), would have only one proton.
About 71% of earth is covered by water.

i think the earth will freeze if it has to much glaciers

Tritium is an isotope of hydrogen and is extremely rare. It has two neutrons in the nucleus, whereas hydrogen most commonly has none. Tritium can be formed in Earth's atmosphere by the action of cosmic rays on atoms of nitrogen.
In ordinary water, exactly 0 atoms as Tritium decays too rapidly (halflife 12.26 years) for any that was on earth when it formed (billions of years ago) to remain. In contaminated water, either deliberately or accidentally, it would depend on how much contaminate was added and the tritium concentration in it. Tritium can only be manufactured somewhere there is a high neutron flux (e.g., nuclear reactor or bomb, a star).

Tritium. What did you think it was?

The oxide of tritium is tritium oxide, sometimes called super heavy water, or 3H2O.
Approximately 3 grams
There are two neutrons in a tritium nucleus.
The symbol of tritium is T.
Tritium is an isotope of hydrogen, so it is colorless.
Tritium symbols: T or 3H.
