Earth Facts
Earth's Shape
Earth is an oblate spheroid, meaning it's slightly flattened at the poles and bulging at the equator due to its rotation. This results in a difference of about 43 km between the equatorial and polar diameters.
Land & Water Distribution
About 71% of Earth's surface is covered by water, with the remaining 29% being land. The Pacific Ocean alone covers more area than all landmasses combined.
Earth's Structure
Earth consists of several layers: a solid inner core, liquid outer core, mantle, and crust. The crust is extremely thin relative to Earth's size—comparable to the skin of an apple.
Earth in the Solar System
Earth is the fifth largest planet in our solar system and the largest of the terrestrial planets. It orbits the Sun at an average distance of 149.6 million km (1 AU).
Earth Comparisons
- Earth is the 5th largest planet by diameter (12,742 km)
- Jupiter, the largest planet, is 11 times wider than Earth
- Earth is the densest planet in our solar system
- Earth has the strongest magnetic field of all rocky planets
- Extends about 100 km above the surface
- Composed of 78% nitrogen, 21% oxygen, 1% other gases
- Contains about 5.15 × 10^18 kg of air
- Blocks harmful solar radiation and regulates temperature
- Oceans contain about 1.35 billion cubic kilometers of water
- Water covers about 71% of Earth's surface
- Only 2.5% of Earth's water is freshwater
- The average ocean depth is about 3.7 kilometers
