Fact One
Earth is the only planet in the Solar System to have water in its three states of matter: as a solid (ice), a liquid (sea, rain, etc.) and as a gas (clouds). Water is, of course, the most important liquid for life.
Fact Two
Earth is almost five billion years old, although life (resembling life as we know it) has only existed on the planet for the last 150 million to 200 million years. This means that life has only been present on Earth for only 5%-10% of its lifetime.
Fact Three
Earth and Mercuryare the two most dense planets in the Solar System. This means that particles inside the planet are most closely packed together.
Fact Four
The length of time it takes for Earth to orbit the Sunis 365 and a quarter days. To make up this extra quarter which isn’t counted at the end of a year, we have an extra day every four years on 29th February. The next Leap Year will be in 2016.Note: a leap year is completely divisible by 4
Fact Five
Earth is gradually slowing down. Every few years, an extra second is added to make up for lost time. Millions of years ago, a day on Earth will have been 20 hours long. It is believed that, in millions of years time, a day on Earth will be 27 hours long.
Fact Six
The centre of the Earth, its core, is molten. This means that it is liquid rock which sometimes erupts onto the surface through volcanic eruptions. This core is 7,500°c, hotter than the surface of the Sun!
Fact Seven
Earth is the only planet in the Solar System not to be named after a mythical God.
Fact Eight
Despite being called Earth, only 29% of the surface is actually ‘earth.’ The rest of the planet’s surface (71%) is made up of water.
Fact Nine
From a distance, Earth would be the brightest of the planets. This is because sunlight is reflected off the planet’s water.
Fact Ten
Earth is the only planet in the Solar System known to be geologically active, with Earthquakes and volcanoes forming the landscape, replenishing carbon dioxide into the atmosphere and erasing impact craters from meteors.
