Facts about Earth Planet – We all know that in our entire universe, Planet Earth is the only where life is possible, yet scientists are predicting and searching for life on other planets in the infinite universe. But at present, it is true that only life on earth exists. In this article here we will talk all about Earth such as the formation of the earth, earth day, etc. And 42 interesting facts about the earth. So let’s start.

Formation Of Earth (History Facts)
Here we will not only tell you about the formation of Earth but also about the formation of the entire solar system. Because to understand the formation of Earth, it is very important to understand the formation of the solar system. Like we have given in detail about the formation of the Sun in our previous Sun post.
As we have told in our article of the Sun that the sun was formed due to gravitational collocation of dust and cold gas clouds 4.6 billion years ago. These dust and gas clouds are called nebula.
After the creation of the Sun, the remaining nebula’s particles form a disc revolving around the Sun, and the smaller particles moving around in this disc begin to form large bodies by joining together due to gravitational force.
Currently, light elements such as hydrogen and helium remain in the area near the Sun, but due to the solar wind, they are now moving away from the Sun. Heavy and solid materials survive in the area near Surya.
Metals that are more heavy and solid are the first to form the core of terrestrial planets (such as Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars). After the core is formed, the less heavy and solid materials join on top of it due to gravity.
In this way, all the heavy materials keep going towards the core and the lighter materials keep coming upwards and after coming up, cool down and make a layer of crust. And thus 4 big terrestrial planets are formed.
The Earth was not very hot and gradually started to cool down with the passage of time. And due to its gravity, absorb some gases and form the outer layer. Large mountains and volcanoes formed due to the collision and friction of tectonic plates in the mantle layer below the Earth’s crest.
And the gases emanating from the volcano created the Earth’s atmosphere, making the Earth worth living for us. And at the time of the creation of the earth, many strides hit the earth and these asteroids brought water, minerals, etc. with them.
We had told in the beginning that light materials like hydrogen, helium, etc. had gone away from the sun due to solar wind. These Jovian planets, such as Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune, were formed by the joining of these light materials by gravitational forces.
Formation Of Moon
It is believed that in the early days of the Earth, a planet named “Thia” collided with Earth. The collision created the Moon from the debris in space. This collision caused the earth to tilt on its axis by 23.4 degrees. Due to this, the weather started changing on the earth.
Interesting Facts About Earth Planet
1. Do you know if the Earth starts rotating 17 times more than its current angular speed, then the weight of any object placed on the equator will be zero.

4. 4.5 billion years ago, the day on the Earth was 6 hours.
5. If an object is thrown from the earth plane in any direction above 11.2 km / s or more, then the object will not return to the earth plane again, because when throwing the object at such a speed, it will not be able to return to Earth’s gravitational. The area crosses.
6. Atmospheric pressure decreases as the earth rises above the surface, causing difficulty in cooking at high altitudes or mountains.

8. The planet Jupiter is so big that about 1300 earth like ours can be contained inside it.
9. All of you must have seen the star falling in the sky, in our earth every year more than 30 thousand outer space objects enter the earth, which starts burning due to friction of the earth’s atmosphere, that is what we call a falling star.
10. Do you know, the Earth’s orbit is not circular, but elliptical, as we all know that the distance between the Earth and the Sun varies during the whole orbit. The minimum distance between the two is 14,71,66,462 km, which is called Perihelion and the maximum distance is 15,21,71,522 km, which is called Aphelion.
Order of the planets: Sun: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune. Mercury is the closest planet to the sun.
11. It takes about 365 days and 6 hours for the Earth to revolve around the Sun due to which every year, it increases by 6 hours from the calendar year, due to which, every fourth year is 366 days and in February, 29 days instead of 28, This is called the leap year.
12. Even after several crores of years of Earth, scientists have been able to search only 10% of the sea, still, scientists have to find out how much the sea is deep and what secret is hidden in it.
13. Humans have not set foot on any celestial body except for the moon (2019), but in the future NASA is preparing to send humans to Mars. Mars planet closest to earth. It is a planet like earth.
14. In ancient times, people believed that the Earth is located at the center of the universe and stars, sun, planets, and moon revolve around the Earth, which was totally wrong.
15. It is said that the only thing made by humans from space is the huge wall of China ‘Great Wall of China’, but that too is no longer visible from space due to excessive pollution. But this is not so because all other natural things of the earth can also be seen from space.
16. If the Earth did not have its own moon, the day on Earth would probably have increased for about 6 hours or more hours.
17. Some part of the sun’s energy collides with the surface of the Earth and the sea and gets converted into the atmosphere.
18. There is so much gold on our earth that it can cover the entire surface of the earth up to 1.5 feet (45.72 cm).

24. There are days and nights due to the rotation or daily motion of the Earth.
25. Every day on earth, 2 lakh people are born and every second 2 people die.

Earth formed after the sun 4.6 billion years ago.

4. Do we live on Earth or on Earth?
We live on the crest of the earth which is the upper surface of the earth not inside it. Because the earth is a solid body and too hot from inside.
