The rates at which we know genetic mutations take place does not seem to be able to account for the number of species present on Earth given how old the Earth is believed to be.
no body can know , since the land is very large and im sure if they have to know the species of insects in the soil in our earth they cant now
The 30 million different species on Earth illustrate the diversity of life. Some estimates of the number of species are even higher; even though the exact number isn't known, scientists do know there are many undiscovered species.
Species within the class Cephalaspidomorphi, which includes the lampreys, comprise the smallest number of species among vertebrates, with around 38 recognized species.
so you can know the number of animals there are in the species
Most organisms never became fossils
It is impossible to know exactly how many species on earth have antennas. All insects have antennas and although only 900,000 have been recorded most scientists believe there could be as many as 5 million species of insects.
The exact number is unknown, there are new ones discovered regularly
since they are not yet discovered, there is no exact percentage of plants and animals, There is an enormously large number of endangered species living in tropical rain forests, and most of these have not yet been "discovered" by scientists. Because rain forests are quickly being converted to farmland and human settlements, many of these species are becoming extinct before humans know anything about them. (it said endangered species how about the none, can you imagine how many are they) this is the other one: Because most of Earth's biodiversity (the number of species in a given habitat) is not yet discovered and cataloged, it is likely that there are perhaps several million endangered species on Earth. thanks to this site: http://www.scienceclarified.com/El-Ex/Endangered-Species.html
By new and full moon
All animal species have not yet been discovered so it is not possible to know.
It the earth was half its mass, then it might only be able to hold half the atmosphere. In this case, it may not be able to maintain many species of life as we know it.
