A year on our planet is 365.25 Earth days. Other planets take more or less time depending on their orbital distances from the Sun. Mercury - 88 Earth days Venus - 225 Earth days Mars - 687 Earth days Jupiter - 11.86 Earth years Saturn - 29.46 Earth years Uranus - 84 Earth years Neptune - 164.8 Earth years Pluto (now a dwarf planet) - 247.7 Earth years
Why does Mercury and Mars have less gravity than Earth because they both have less mass than does the Earth.
Around 8 to 10 million cubic miles of Earth's water is considered fresh water, of which some 6 to 7 million cubic miles (more than two-thirds) is frozen in glaciers and the ice caps in Greenland and Antarctica.
Less than 1 percent of Earth's water is ready for use by humans. Earth is approximately 71 percent water but of all this water only about 2.5 percent is fresh water with the rest being salt water and thus not fit for human consumption. Of the 2.5 percent fresh water the majority of this is frozen in the polar icecaps, present in soil moisture or deep underground where it is out of reach.
By and large, aside from the messes left by the human infestation, yes. The Earth does look much the same as it did a million years ago. The Atlantic ocean might be a little wider, the Pacific a little narrower, the water level a little higher, but the place looks pretty much the same.
there is still the same amount of water on earth as their was 100 years ago or in fact 1 million years ago. The fact is that today less water is in ice form then there was 100 years ago.

I think that the total number left on earth is less then a thousand . Am I right?
70% of the Earth's surface is covered in salt water. Liquid fresh water covers less than 1% of the Earth
No; there were nations with a central Government as far back as the ancient Egyptians and Assyrians, so several thousand years back.
False; for a thousand years
Earth is more dense.
A millennium is one thousand years.
It has the same amount of water as 1000 years ago. Unless this water has been taken off the earth in a spaceship, it will always be on earth, some of it in gaseous for, some in ice, and some in water. Most of the earth's water is non-potable (meaning you can't drink it its not clean). Water is always recycled, for instance, the water you drink today, could also have been drunk by a dinosoar, then peed out. The water would be recycled over time, with all the bad things coming out when it evaporates, then it rains back to the earth as pure clean water.
Water covers 71% of the Earth's surface; the oceans contain 97.2% of the Earth's water. :) Approximately 2.59% of water on Earth's surface is fresh water, and of this percentage, 70% of it is trapped in ice caps. This leaves less than 1% of the water of Earth suitable for use.
Less than 1.
yes that is right
