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.
