1. Earth matters Earth (or the Earth) is the third planet from the Sun and the densest and fifth-largest of the eight planets in the Solar System. It is also the largest of the Solar System's four terrestrial planets. It is sometimes referred to as the World, the Blue Planet, or by its Latin name, Terra.] Home to millions of species including humans, Earth is currently the only astronomical body where life is known to exist. The planet formed 4.54 billion years ago, and life appeared on its surface within a billion years. Earth's biosphere has significantly altered the atmosphere and other abiotic conditions on the planet, enabling the proliferation of aerobic organisms as well as the formation of the ozone layer which, together with Earth's magnetic field, blocks harmful solar radiation, permitting life on land. The physical properties of the Earth, as well as its geological history and orbit, have allowed life to persist during this period. The planet is expected to continue supporting life for at least another 500 million years.
2. Earth matters The Earth is the third planet, and about 150 million kms from the sun .
3. Approximately 57,500,000 square miles of the total surface area is land. Water covers approximately 139,500,000 square miles. The Earth has a total surface area of about 197,000,000 square miles. Water and earth Places in the universe Present perfect active (result visible) vs. passive Large numbers
4. The lowest temperature of -89*C was recorded at Vostok station Antarctica. The highest temperature on earth was recorded as 58*C in Al Asisiyah in Libya. Rememb e r Man has made progress. Progress has been made (by man) .
