1:Our planet is the solar system’s only one that has plate
tectonics. This means that Earth has a liquid core and the crust
just floats on the planet’s core.- Oxygen forms approximately 47% of the crust of the Earth.
- Earth has poles both at the bottom and the top of the planet, which makes it a huge magnet.
- An Earth day is not 24 hours long. It’s actually 23h, 56m, 4s which is the time that the planet needs to rotate on its own axis.
- This is the only planet from the solar system which has water in all the matter states: gas (as clouds), liquid (rain, sea, etc) and solid (ice).
- Scientists say that an Earth day had around 20 hours a few million years ago and that a million years from now it will have 27 hours.
- The coldest place on Earth is Vostok (in Antarctica) and the hottest one is El Azizia (from Libya).
- The embryos of a tiger shark fight against each other in the womb of the mother. The shark embryo which survives gets born.
- The Earth’s year has 365.2564 days. Thanks to this extra .2564, every four years, the leap year appears, which has an extra day.
- The oldest tree from Earth is 4600 years old and it’s a bristlecone pine from California.
Above you can see 10 interesting facts
about planet Earth, which show you just how special our planet is and
how much is worth protecting it.
