I bet you don't know these facts about our home! #space #spaceexploration #facts #universe #earth

Earth is our home planet, the third from the Sun, unique for supporting life due to liquid water, a breathable atmosphere (nitrogen/oxygen), and a protective magnetic field, featuring diverse landforms, oceans covering 70% of its surface, and a layered structure (crust, mantle, core). It rotates daily and orbits the Sun yearly, creating seasons due to its axial tilt, and is orbited by one moon that influences tides. Formed about 4.5 billion years ago, Earth is the densest planet in our solar system, a rocky world with active plate tectonics, and its name comes from Old English/Germanic words for "ground".
