OUR PLANET EARTH












FACTS ABOUT EARTH;

Earth, our home planet, is a world unlike any other. The third planet from the sun, Earth is the only place in the known universe confirmed to host life. With a radius of 3,959 miles, Earth is the fifth largest planet in our solar system, and it's the only one known for sure to have liquid water on its surface.

EARTH OUR HOME:

Earth, our home, is the third planet from the sun. While scientists continue to hunt for clues of life beyond Earth, our home planet remains the only place in the universe where we've ever identified living organisms. 

Earth is the fifth-largest planet in the solar system. It's smaller than the four gas giants — Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune — but larger than the three other rocky planets, Mercury, Mars and Venus.

Earth has a diameter of roughly 8,000 miles (13,000 kilometers) and is mostly round because gravity generally pulls matter into a ball. But the spin of our home planet causes it to be squashed at its poles and swollen at the equator, making the true shape of the Earth an "oblate spheroid."

OTHER FACTS ABOUT PLANET EARTH:

Its name comes from the the old English and Germanic words meaning 'the ground'. 2) Our amazing planet has been around for quite some time. By researching our planet's rocks, scientists have calculated the Earth to be around 4.5 billion years old! 3) Like all the planets, Earth orbits (travels around).
Thank You.

Global warming implies an increase in the average temperature of the Earth due to the entrapment of greenhouse gases in the earth’s atmosphere. Global warming or climate change has today become a major threat to mankind. The Earth’s temperature is on the rise and there are various reasons for it such as greenhouse gases emanating from carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, burning of fossil fuels, or deforestation. Impact of Greenhouse Gases The rise in the levels of carbon dioxide (CO2) leads to a substantial increase in temperature.
