We have not physically explored our galaxy beyond the bounds of our own solar system, because we lack the technology to do so. We have still been able to learn a great deal through sending out space probes and through the use of powerful telescopes such as the Hubble.
The periods of time where the temperature of the Earth has been much colder then traditional times are referred to as ice ages. It is a long term reduction in the temperature of the Earth resulting in the expansion of the polar ice caps.
Yes, there is more water on Earth than oil. Water covers about 71% of the Earth's surface, while oil reserves are limited and make up a much smaller percentage of Earth's total volume.
Polaris has been known to ancient civilizations for thousands of years. It has been used for navigation, and its importance has been documented in various historical texts. The star's exact date of discovery is not known since it has been in the night sky for centuries.
Nitrogen makes up about 78% of Earth's atmosphere because it is relatively unreactive and has been preserved over time. This high percentage results from the balance of gases released from volcanic activity and biological processes.
Kepler-22b is not the biggest planet. In fact, it is classified as a super-Earth, meaning it is larger than Earth but smaller than Uranus or Neptune. Some exoplanets discovered by astronomers are much larger than Kepler-22b.
All the earth's land surface has been discovered. There are parts that are virtually unexplored, however.
Only if you are referring to earth as a percentage of earth, then earth is 100% of earth
What was discovered was that the moon is composed of material that is very close to the composition of the outer layers of the earth. A theory has been adopted that the earth was struck by a small proto-planet, about the size of Mars, and the collision threw much of the earth's crust into orbit, that eventually formed the moon.
Comparable, in what sense? - Scientists have discovered over a thousand planets outside our Solar System; most of these are much larger than Earth (since those are easier to discover), but several have been found that have a mass comoparable to Earth.
78 %
No planets like Earth of any size have been discovered. For a planet the size of the Moon to have Earth like characteristics, it would have to have a much larger iron core in order to hold on to an atmosphere.
About 33% of the land surface of the earth is desert.
More than half.
Uhm, the first living being on earth, the sun is much older than the earth.
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
About 45% is covered in a temperate climate
