Earth

Well, here we are, Earth, we've travelled 150,000,000 (150 million) and 2 posts to get here-Home!
This is going to be a two part (possibly three) part series about Earth.

The time it takes for one  Earth day (just pretend your martians, I know you know this) is actually 23 hours 57 minutes, but we round it up (I never knew that, did you!?)

One year is 365 days and a quarter, so every four years, so we have a leap year to make up for the quarters.

Basic interesting facts
Picture of Earth
from NASA.

  • The Earth has one moon

  • Someday the moon will fly off into deep space as the gravitational pull of Earth will loose it's grip.

  • The Earth's surface is two thirds water, but compared with the whole inside of the Earth it only covers a measly 0.0002 of Earth's mass.

  • Earth is not the only planet that had or has water, Mars used to have water too, but I'll explain that when I get to the Mars section.
OK, well goodbye peeps ;)
