The Seven Most Amazing Facts About the World.
We all know that we live on a great planet, and we take it for granted some times. But the truth is—our world is one of the most amazing wonders in the universe.

Section 1. The size of our globe in comparison to the universe
In the grand scheme of things, our planet is relatively tiny. We all know that we live on a great planet, and we take it for granted sometimes. But the truth is—our world is one of the most amazing wonders in the universe.
It’s hard to believe how small our globe is in comparison to the rest of the universe, but it doesn’t mean that we can’t appreciate what we have here on Earth. Here are eight facts that will help you understand just how amazing life really is.
Section 2. Earth is the perfect distance from the sun
Earth is the perfect distance from the sun to sustain life. If it were any closer, we would all burn up, and if it were any farther away, we would all freeze.
The Earth is the third planet from the sun and orbits at a comfortable distance of 149,598,000 km. If the Earth was any closer to the sun, our oceans would evaporate and we’d all die. If it were any farther away from the sun, our oceans would freeze and we’d all die. Luckily for us, Earth is just right!
Section 3. Earth is just one of eight planets in our solar system
Did you know that Earth is just one of eight planets in our solar system? And of course, Earth is the only planet with life on it. Our solar system consists of our sun and the eight planets surrounding it—Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune.
Section 4. Earth has a moon
One of the most obvious features on Earth is our moon. Without it, we would not be able to see the night sky. And according to NASA, the moon doesn’t orbit around Earth at all; rather, it rotates around Earth’s equator. For that reason, you can always find it in one spot in the
sky.
Section 5. There are about one billion species on planet earth
There are about one billion species on planet Earth. That number is something that can be hard to wrap your head around, but what’s amazing is that there are individuals with the same number of diff
erent cells as the number of species on Earth.
Scientists estimate each plant and animal on Earth has an average of 2 million cells, which means on average, there are about one billion individual cells in the world. And if every cell had an identical clone (which they don’t), there would still only be about two billion people on earth—so you’re not alone!
Section 6. Earth is tilted on its axis, which helps create seasons
The tilt of Earth’s axis is responsible for creating four different seasons, which are caused by the angle at which sunlight strikes the ground. The Northern Hemisphere’s summer solstice occurs when Earth tilts 23.5 degrees towards the sun, while winter solstice happens when Earth tilts 23.5 degrees away from the sun.
Section 7. Humans have only been around for a very short time.
There are so many fascinating facts about life on Earth, but one in particular is how long humans have been around. Humans have only been around for a very short time. If you take the age of the Earth to be 4.5 billion years old, then humans have only been here for 200,000 years or so. This is relatively new in comparison to everything that has happened on our planet before us—life existed before we did.
