can you give some facts about earth anything about earth?

Question

I just need it! and please put the details

Answer 1

Earth (IPA: /ˈɜː(r)θ/, often referred to as the Earth, Terra, the World or Planet Earth) is the third planet in the solar system in terms of distance from the Sun, and the fifth largest. It is also the largest of its planetary system's terrestrial planets, making it the largest solid body in the solar system, and it is the only place in the universe known to humans to support life. It is also the densest planet in the solar system. Widely accepted scientific evidence indicates that the Earth was formed around 4.57 billion years ago[1] and its natural satellite, the Moon, was orbiting it shortly thereafter, around 4.53 billion years ago.

The outer surface is divided into several tectonic plates that gradually migrate across the surface over geologic time spans. The interior of the planet remains active, with a thick layer of convecting yet solid mantle and an iron core that generates a magnetic field. Its atmospheric conditions have been significantly altered by the presence of life forms, which create an ecological balance that modifies the surface conditions. About 71% of the surface is covered in salt-water oceans, and the remainder consists of continents and islands.

There is significant interaction between the Earth and its space environment. The relatively large moon provides ocean tides and has gradually modified the length of the planet's rotation period. A cometary bombardment during the early history of the planet is believed to have played a role in the formation of the oceans. Later, asteroid impacts are understood to have caused significant changes to the surface environment. Long term periodic changes in the orbit of the planet may also be responsible for the ice ages that have covered significant portions of the surface in glacial sheets.

Answer 2

The most detailed link to ur question http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earth and here u sure will find much more about earth and also i have quoted one more below.

To a first-order approximation the Earth is round. This
is due to gravity. Gravity pulls with equal strength in all
directions; therefore any variations from a spherical
shape will lead to gravitational forces that
bring the shape back into that of a sphere.

This is without considering the rotation of the earth,
however. The rotation of the earth adds centrifugal
effects, which cause the earth to bulge slightly at
its equator and flatten slightly at its poles.
(This is like twirling a rock on the end of a string
and then letting go--the rock flies away from the
twirler.) Because of these centrifugal effects, the
distance from the center of the earth to the surface
of the earth is about 0.33% shorter at the poles
compared to the equator.

Answer 3

Earth (planet), one of nine planets in the solar system, the only planet known to harbor life, and the “home” of human beings. From space Earth resembles a big blue marble with swirling white clouds floating above blue oceans. About 71 percent of Earth’s surface is covered by water, which is essential to life. The rest is land, mostly in the form of continents that rise above the oceans.

Answer 4

We live in a strange and almost unique solar system, since most others so far discovered are bi-stellar, which is to say that they have two stars, not one as we do. Plus, Earth is the only planet in the solar system to have just one satellite - the Moon. So, in truth, we live in a bi-planetary system, as without the moon, we would not have tides or the same level of ocean movements, and therefore, arguably, life may never have started here..

Answer 5

The earth is Round.

Answer 6

Galileo was punished by the Catholic Church for discovering that the Earth revolved around the Sun, not the other way around.

Answer 7

You can do a search and find many things out for this subject but I did a quick search and came up with 3 links below.

Hope that helps...it sounds like you are doing a report? So good luck for whatever reasons it may be.

Answer 8

How about we try to actually make some sense? First of all, sentences require VERBS. It is said that those who are incapable of forming a proper sentence are unlikely to be able to form a proper thought. Your question here would seem to support that statement.

Answer 9

earth is the onli planet in the solar system that supports lifeforms

Answer 10

Round, spins, has lots of water, lots of people, plants, & animals with de-tails.
