tundra taiga grasslands deciduous forest savanna chaparral rainforest desert alpine some facts about our planet earth is the third planet and 93 000 000 miles 150 000 000 km from the sun it is estimated to be over 4 5 billion years old the planet rotates once every 23 hours 56 minutes and 4 09 seconds it makes one full revolution around the sun every 365 days 6 hours 9 minutes and 9 45 seconds earth s axis is tilted at a 23 5 angle earth has a total surface area of 196 800 000 square miles approximately 57 300 000 square miles or 29 of the total surface area is land water covers approximately 139 500 000 square miles or 71 of the total surface area the highest temperatures on earth have reached 136 f 58 c at al asisiyah libya temperatures of 128 f 89 c have been recorded at vostok station in antarctica the atmosphere is a thin gaseous layer of air that envelops the planet its inner layer is called the troposphere and reaches only 11 miles above sea level it contains most of the planet s air which consists of nitrogen 78 and oxygen 21 the stratosphere or outer layer stretches 11 30 miles above sea level and contains ozone o3 ozone filters out most of the sun s harmful ultraviolet radiation more than 99 of earth s atmosphere is less than 50 miles 80 km high however particles of the atmosphere are found 1 000 miles 1 600 km in space above the planet s surface our sun our sun is the source of energy for life solar energy drives the climate and weather systems of our planet the sun is a huge ball of hydrogen 72 and helium 28 gases tremendous pressure and temperatures in its inner core fuses the hydrogen nuclei and forms helium releasing enormous amounts of energy this energy travels at the speed of light and reaches earth in slightly more than 8 minutes earth receives only about one billionth of the sun s energy about 34 of the solar energy reaching the troposphere is reflected back into space by clouds dust chemicals most of the energy reaches the troposphere as visible light infrared radiation and a small amount of ultraviolet radiation that wasn t absorbed by the stratosphere this unreflected solar radiation is turned into infrared radiation or heat heat trapping gasses like water vapor carbon dioxide methane nitrous oxide and ozone affect the speed at which this radiation is returned to space without these gasses known as the natural greenhouse effect heat would immediately return to space making it almost as cold as mars living earth earth is truly a remarkable planet it is the only planet in our solar system that has the components necessary to support life as we recognize it the planet is only a tiny part of the universe but it is the home of human beings and many other organisms animals and plants live almost everywhere on the surface of earth these organisms can live on earth because it has an atmosphere the atmosphere moderates daytime and nighttime temperature swings the atmosphere filters radiant energy during the day preventing the surface from overheating at night the atmosphere prevents most of the radiant heat from escaping back into space keeping the surface warm most organisms both plants and animals must also have water to live earth has plenty seventy one percent of its surface is covered by water living things also need nitrogen oxygen and carbon dioxide earth s thin layer of atmosphere provides all of these elements the atmosphere also screens out lethal levels of the sun s ultraviolet radiation the atmosphere however could not exist if earth were not at the exact distance it is from the sun animals animals which live within a same species group and occupy an area at the same time are part of a population all members of the same population have certain traits in common populations of different plants and animals interact with each other and together these populations form communities plants and animals in a particular ecological community or biome must be adapted to the same living conditions so they can all survive in the same biome many populations can live in the same area because each species fills a specific role in the community this role is called a niche what an animal eats and where it eats are also part of its niche giraffes can live in the same area as gazelles because they eat different plants and don t compete with each other dung beetles bury the feces of these animals and lay their eggs in it the hatching grubs feed on the feces the buried feces also fertilize plants which in turn feeds the gazelle and giraffe each plant and animal has its own niche in the ecological community and is important in some way to the survival of the other learn more plants close to 2 5 billion years ago the earth s surface and atmosphere were stable enough to support primitive life single cell organisms began to develop in the seas that covered the planet a simple organism known as blue green algae appeared and spread across the seas blue green algae used sunlight and water to make food and in the process created oxygen as the blue green algae grew in the earth s seas they began to fill the atmosphere with oxygen the oxygen that blue green algae produced made it possible for other types of organisms to develop plants play the most important part in the cycle of nature without plants there could be no life on earth they are the primary producers that sustain all other life forms this is so because plants are the only organisms that can make their own food animals incapable of making their own food depend directly or indirectly on plants for their supply of food all animals and the foods they eat can be traced back to plants learn more climate have you ever wondered why one area of the world is a desert another a grassland and another a rainforest why are there different forests and deserts and why are there different types of life in each area the answer is climate climate is the characteristic condition of the atmosphere near the earth s surface at a certain place on earth it is the long term weather of that area at least 30 years this includes the region s general pattern of weather conditions seasons and weather extremes like hurricanes droughts or rainy periods two of the most important factors determining an area s climate are air temperature and precipitation learn more start exploring our
