Earth
The Blue Marble
The Sun is the star at the center of the Solar System. It is a nearly perfect ball of hot plasma, heated to incandescence by nuclear fusion reactions in its core. It radiates this energy mainly as light, ultraviolet, and infrared radiation, providing the energy for life on Earth.
The Inner Solar System consists of the four terrestrial planets—Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars—orbiting within the Asteroid Belt, all composed primarily of rock and metal.
Diameter 12,742 km
Day Length 24 hours
Population 8.1 billion

Earth

The Blue Marble

Earth is the third planet from the Sun and the only astronomical object known to harbor life. With over 70% of its surface covered by ocean, it supports a diverse biosphere and complex climate systems protected by a magnetic field and atmosphere.

The Moon

Earth's Satellite

The Moon is Earth's only natural satellite. It is the fifth-largest satellite in the Solar System and the largest among planetary satellites relative to the size of the planet that it orbits. Its gravitational influence is the main driver of Earth's tides and very slowly lengthens Earth's day.
