For all of you deep thinkers or all of you who just want to get something new, here we have 10 interesting and amazing facts about our brilliant planet, the Earth.

Continuously we are living our lives, our beautiful sunrises, and sunsets mark the rotation of our planet.

But have you ever thought about the planet on which we are living, The Earth?

Have you ever thought of which it is made? Or how much the Earth weighs?

Maybe you have ever thought that why a leap year comes? or maybe have never taken it seriously!

1. What is the exact time of the day:
   

   Earth has both orbital and spin motions. Actually, Earth does not take exactly 24 hours to complete a single rotation around its own axis instead, it takes 23 hours,56 minutes, and 4 Seconds Astronomers call this Sidereal day.

2. Weight of the Earth:
   

   The weight of the earth is approximately 5.974X10²⁴ Kilograms, which is something equal to the weight of about 54,807,339,449,541,284,403 Blue Whales (The heaviest creature on our planet, the Earth).

3. Why a Leap year comes:
   

   As commonly thought a year on earth is equal to 365 days but actually, it is not 365 days rather it is 356.2564 days. The additional 0.2564 days are collectively added to February of every Leap year, after every four years.

4. Blue Planet:
   

   Do you know that Earth is called Blue Planet because 70% of Earth's surface is covered by water(H₂O)? Out of 70% of the water on Earth, 3% water is fresh, and the remaining 97% is salted water.
   Out of 3% of fresh water, more than 2% is in the form of ice sheets and glaciers, and finally, less than 1% is in lakes and rivers.
   
   
5. The Powerful magnetic field surrounding Earth:
   
   The Earth is surrounded by a powerful magnetic field that protects it from the effect of solar winds and this magnetic field is produced when the earth's rotation is coupled with the unique Nickel-Iron properties of Earth's core.

6. Misconceptions about Earth:
   

   In the previous time, there were so many misconceptions about Earth, one of the following was that the Earth was thought to be the center of the solar system.
   
   
7. Earth is Decelerating gradually:
   
   The rotation of the earth is constantly and moderately slowing down however this effect is happening so minimally (about 17 millisecond seconds per hundred years) that it has been hypothesized that approximately 140 million years ago the earth was used to experiencing 25 hours days.
8. The density of Earth:
   
   
   In our Solar system among all the planets, the Earth is the densest planet with a density of about 5.52 grams per cubic centimeter.
   
   
9.  Unique existence of Water:
   
   One and only the Earth is such planet in our whole solar system where water exists in all of its states i.e solid, liquid, and gas.
   
   
10. Total Solar Eclipse:
    
    In the whole solar system, the earth is the only single planet where a total solar eclipse can happen, because the position of the moon is adjusted right relative to both Earth and Sun. This does not happen with every having its own moon.Just take a breath, think, and realize, how lucky we all are to have an amazing home, part of this beautiful and astonishing place.
