Earth Wallpapers 2.0.0

Earth is the third planet from the Sun in the Solar System, recognized as the only celestial body known to support life and liquid water. Estimated to have formed over 4.5 billion years ago based on radiometric dating and scientific findings, Earth's gravitational pull influences various celestial bodies, notably the Sun and its singular natural satellite, the Moon. Completing an annual orbit around the Sun within 365 days, Earth rotates on its axis 366 times during this period.

The planet's axial tilt relative to its orbital plane is responsible for the changing seasons. The gravitational relationship between Earth and the Moon not only sustains this axis but also leads to phenomena like tides and a gradual slowdown in Earth's rotation. As a solid, rock-dominated entity, Earth defines the group of rocky planets due to its extraordinary mass, volume, and density within the Solar System.

Earth's lithosphere, its outermost layer, comprises rigid tectonic plates that have been in constant motion for millions of years. While roughly 29% of its surface area is terrestrial, encompassing continents and islands, the remaining 71% is covered by the hydrosphere—a combination of oceans, lakes, rivers, and freshwater bodies. Notably, much of Earth's polar regions are blanketed in ice. The planet's interior features an active solid iron inner core, a liquid outer core responsible for generating its magnetic field, and a mantle driving the movement of tectonic plates.
