Size and Composition: Earth has a diameter of about 12,742 kilometers (7,918 miles) and is composed of various layers, including the solid crust, mantle, outer core, and inner core.
Atmosphere: The Earth's atmosphere is a mixture of gases, primarily nitrogen (78%) and oxygen (21%), with trace amounts of other gases like carbon dioxide, water vapor, and argon. It plays a vital role in supporting life and regulating the planet's climate.
Hydrosphere: Earth is often referred to as the "Blue Planet" due to its abundant water. About 71% of the Earth's surface is covered by oceans, seas, and other bodies of water.
Lithosphere: The Earth's solid outer layer is called the lithosphere, which consists of tectonic plates that move and interact, leading to processes like earthquakes and volcanic activity.
Life: Earth is teeming with a wide variety of life forms, including plants, animals, and microorganisms. It's the only place in the universe where life is known to exist.
Geological History: The Earth has a complex geological history, including the formation of mountains, valleys, and other landforms over millions of years.
Moon: Earth has a single natural satellite, the Moon, which orbits around it and affects phenomena like tides.
Climate and Weather: The Earth's climate and weather patterns are influenced by factors such as the Sun's energy, ocean currents, atmospheric circulation, and greenhouse gases.
Ecosystems: Earth's diverse ecosystems range from deserts and rainforests to polar regions and deep oceans, providing habitats for a wide array of species.
Space Exploration: The study of Earth, known as Earth science, encompasses a wide range of disciplines, including geology, meteorology, oceanography, and more. Additionally, space agencies have sent satellites and spacecraft to study Earth from space.
