Facts About Earth

Earth

Earth is the third planet from the Sun and the only astronomical object known to harbor life. While large volumes of water can be found throughout the Solar System, only Earth sustains liquid surface water. About 71% of Earth's surface is made up of the ocean, dwarfing Earth's polar ice, lakes, and rivers.

Facts About Earth

Neither is the Earth entirely round nor is it flat.
Because the Earth revolves about its axis, there is an additional 0.3 percent bulge at the equator.
The diameter of the Earth is 12,714 kilometres (7,900 miles) from North to South Pole and 12,756 kilometres (12,756 miles) through the equator (7,926 miles).
It took 4.6 billion years for Earth to develop.
The day would have lasted around six hours when Earth was created.
This had grown to 21.9 hours by 620 million years ago.
Every century, the length of the typical day lengthens by around 1.7 milliseconds.
The moon is to blame for the lengthening of the day. Through the tides that it contributes to producing, the moon is slowing Earth's rotation.
There weren't always many continents on Earth.
The major tectonic plates that constitute the earth's crust began to collide some 800 million years ago, creating Rodinia, a sizable supercontinent.
The Appalachian Mountains in North America and the Ural Mountains in Russia and Kazakhstan were produced 250–500 million years ago by the recollapse of various fragments of Rodinia that had eventually split apart.
The continents merged once more some 250 million years ago to create Pangaea, another supercontinent encircled by a single, global ocean.
After 50 million years, Pangaea started to disintegrate. It divided into the two massive land masses known as Gondwanaland and Laurasia, which eventually broke up into the continents we see today.
The Earth experienced numerous severe climatic upheavals known as ice ages between 600 and 800 million years ago.
The "snowball Earth" idea proposes that Earth nearly or totally froze multiple times as a result of the extreme cold.
The only location in the solar system where water can exist in all three states—solid, liquid, and gas—is on Earth.
The average speed at which we are all moving around the Sun is 107,182 kilometres per hour. And depending on where you are on Earth, we may be spinning at a speed of up to 1000 miles per hour at the same moment.
According to data gathered through satellite measurements, Earth gets between 100 and 300 metric tonnes of cosmic dust (the dust that is present both in outer space and on the planet Earth) per day. However, according to some other calculations, the amount of incoming dust may only be 5 metric tonnes each day.
Do not be surprised to find that water makes up less than 1% of Earth's mass despite the fact that more than 70% of the planet is made up of water.
Canada's Hudson Bay region experiences less gravitational pull than the rest of the world. Scientists have a number of theories that they link to this phenomenon, but no one is certain why it is the way it is.
The 99% of all species that have ever existed on Earth are now extinct, which is an amazing fact.
The crust, which is typically 30 kilometres deep on the ground, is the thinnest of all the layers.
The temperature of the Earth's interior core ranges from 5400 to 6000 degrees Celsius. Consequently, it becomes hotter than the Sun's surface (5500 degrees Celsius).
The mantle, at 2900 kilometres deep, is the thickest of the earth's four layers. This layer is made up of a heated mixture of molten rock and has the consistency of caramel.
The Earth also holds the distinction of being the Solar System's densest planet. It weighs 5.51 grammes per cubic centimetre on average.
Earth possesses tectonic plates beneath its surface, making it the sole planet in the solar system. The magma inside the Earth is sitting above these plates. Earthquakes are caused by the collision of these plates. Other geological processes and the maintenance of life depend on the movement of these plates.
The diameter of the Earth is 43 km smaller from the North Pole to the South Pole than it is at the Equator. As a result, Earth is not a perfect sphere, and the diameter discrepancy is due to how Earth rotates.
The troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere, thermosphere, and exosphere are the five layers that make up Earth's atmosphere. The thickness of the atmosphere on Earth ranges from the surface up to a height of 50 km and up to 10,000 km.
A plane's maximum altitude is 60,000 feet, or nearly 18.288 km.
The Exosphere, the final layer of the Earth's atmosphere, reaches 10,000 kilometres into space from 700 kilometres above mean sea level.
