Amazing Facts about Earth
Earth is a volcanic bomb
Yes, earth has more than 500 volcanoes in the
underground. More than 80 percent of the earth, both above and below the
surface is completely made of volcanic soil! Earth is a volcanic
bomb!!
Earth has a twin planet
Earth is a twin planet and it has another
planet called Theia. According to the current research, the twin planet
disappeared. However, almost before 4.5 billion years ago, the twin
planet, Theia, which was in the size of the planet mars shared the same
orbit as shared by earth.
Earth don’t take 24 hours for self-rotation
We believe that earth takes 24 hours to spin
itself, which gives us day and night. We don’t have 24 hours a day as we
follow. We run short of 3 minutes and 56 seconds a day! The actual
time is 23 hours, 56 minutes and 4 seconds. However, the duration of a
day can be extended by 1.5 hours extra. This could happen after 250
million years and caused due to slower rotation of the earth.
Earth is blue

colour due water. Around 70 percent of the earth is covered by water
bodies and earth appears blue! Guess what, no more than 5 percent of
the earth is explored by the humans! Earth is a mystery!
No equal gravity
Gravity isn’t equally distributed to all
regions on the earth! A few places have less gravity and vice versa. For
instance, Hudson Bay, Canada has lesser gravity. Lower rate of land
mass is the major reason for reduced gravity.
Water
Around 70 percent of earth’s fresh water (almost more than two-third) is found in Antarctica.
