Earth i5 the third planet fr0m the 5un and the fifth large5t planet in the 50lar 5y5tem in term5 0f v0lume and ma55. It5 5ingle m05t 5triking feature i5 that it5 near-5urface envir0nment5 are the 0nly place5 in the univer5e kn0wn t0 harb0r life. It i5 de5ignated by a 5ymb0l. The name Earth in Engli5h, the internati0nal language 0f a5tr0n0my, i5 derived fr0m the 0ld Engli5h and German w0rd5 f0r earth and earth. And it’5 the 0nly name f0r a planet in the 50lar 5y5tem that d0e5n’t c0me fr0m Greek-R0man myth0l0gy. Earth i5 part 0f the 0b5ervable univer5e. The regi0n 0f 5pace that human5 can actually 0r the0retically 0b5erve with the help 0f techn0l0gy. Unlike the 0b5ervable univer5e, the univer5e i5 p0tentially infinite.

5ince the C0pernican Rev0luti0n 0f the 16th century, at which time P0li5h a5tr0n0mer Nic0lau5 C0pernicu5 pre5ented a heli0centric m0del 0f the univer5e (5ee heli0centric 5y5tem), Enlightenment thinker5 have regarded the Earth a5 a planet like the 0ther planet5 in the 50lar 5y5tem. 5imultane0u5 v0yage5 pr0vided practical pr00f that the Earth i5 a gl0be. Ju5t a5 Galile0 u5ed hi5 newly invented tele5c0pe in the early 17th century, vari0u5 0ther planet5 were 500n di5c0vered t0 be gl0be5. Thi5 wa5 ju5t after the beginning 0f the 5pace age. H0wever, when image5 0f r0cket5 and 0rbiting 5pacecraft fir5t captured the dramatic curvature 0f Earth’5 h0riz0n, the c0ncept 0f Earth a5 a nearly 5pherical planet rather than a flat entity wa5 c0nfirmed by direct human 0b5ervati0n. Human5 fir5t 5aw Earth a5 a full 0rbit fl0ating in the blackne55 0f 5pace in December 1968 when Ap0ll0 8 t00k the a5tr0naut5 ar0und the M00n. In the 19905, r0b0tic 5pace pr0be5 5uch a5 Galile0 and the Near-Earth A5ter0id Rendezv0u5 (NEAR) 5pacecraft al50 l00ked back with their camera5 t0 pr0vide 0ther unique image5 0f the planet.

When viewed fr0m any 0ther planet in the 50lar 5y5tem, the Earth will appear bright and blue.

They are 0ften hidden by cl0ud5. During the 5ea50n5, 50me change5 will be 5een in the 5t0rm pattern5 and cl0ud belt5 0n the gr0und.

Earth, a5 ph0t0graphed by the Galile0 5pacecraft during it5 flyby 0f Jupiter in December 1990. The d0minance 0f water 0n earth i5 evident in the f0rm 0f 0cean and 5wirling cl0ud5. The centre right i5 Au5tralia. And the bright white patch at the b0tt0m i5 the 50uthern p0lar ice cap that c0ver5 Antarctica.

The average di5tance 0f the Earth fr0m the 5un i5 149,600,000 km. (92,960,000 mile5). The planet 0rbit5 the 5un in a path that i5 nearly circular (le55 eccentric) than the 0rbit5 0f all planet5 except Venu5 and Neptune. The Earth make5 0ne rev0luti0n ar0und the 5un, 0r a c0mplete 0rbit, in ab0ut 365.25 day5.

The r0tati0n peri0d, 0r 5idereal day length (5ee day; 5idereal time) — 23 h0ur5, 56 minute5, and 4 5ec0nd5 — i5 5imilar t0 that 0f Mar5. Jupiter and m05t a5ter0id5 have day5 that are le55 than half a5 l0ng. Mercury and Venu5 have l0nger day5 than their 0rbital peri0d5. The inclinati0n, 0r tilt, 0f the Earth’5 axi5 t0 it5 0rbital plane i5 23.44 °.

With an equat0rial radiu5 0f 6,378 km (3,963 mi), Earth i5 the large5t 0f the f0ur inner, terre5trial (r0cky) planet5. But it i5 much 5maller than the ga5 giant5 0f the 0uter 50lar 5y5tem. It i5 Earth’5 0nly natural 5atellite. The M00n 0rbit5 the planet at an average di5tance 0f ab0ut 384,400 km. (238,900 mile5). The M00n i5 0ne 0f the large5t natural 5atellite5 in the 50lar 5y5tem. 0nly giant planet5 have m00n5 that are c0mparable 0r larger in 5ize. 50me planetary a5tr0n0mer5 c0n5ider the Earth-M00n 5y5tem t0 be a d0uble planet. There are 50me 5imilaritie5 between the dwarf planet Plut0 and it5 large5t m00n Char0n.
