Planet Earth

Venus is often referred to as Earth's sister planet because they are similar in size and composition. Both planets have rocky surfaces and are located in the inner solar system. However, Venus has a very different atmosphere, with extreme temperatures and a thick layer of clouds made of sulfuric acid.

Every meridian of longitude has the same nominal length, because all meridians

have the same end-points ... the north and south poles. So the length of a

meridian is half of the Earth's polar circumference ... 20,004 km (12,430 miles).

yes! besides light, meteorites and other small particles from outr space reach earth quite frequently

Particles and Objects from the outer space strikes the Earth all the time. It is estimated that more than 100 tons of material from outer space land on the Earth everyday. By far the majority of this material is comprised of little tiny bits of interplanetary dust that are smaller than grains of sand.

Other kinds of things hit Earth too, from subatomic particles (neutrinos and cosmic rays), to large pieces of rock and metal called meteorites. Long ago in Earth's history, very large impactors have struck as well; and billions of years ago, at least one protoplanet thousands of miles wide struck our planet. Many Scientists belive that this event caused the formation of our Moon.

In order of size from largest to smallest

Sun > Earth > Moon.

If we quote the radius of these objects.

Sun ; 695,700 km

Earth ; 6,365 km

Moon ; 1,736 km

From these figures you can see that the Sun is over 100 times bigger than the Earth, and the Earth is nearly 4 times greater than the Moon.

The reason why the Sun and Moon appear to the same size is because the Moon is much nearer to the Earth , than the Sun. It is a property of optics that the further away an object is, then the smaller it appears.

From the Earth;-

Sun's distance is ~92,000,000 miles

Moon's distance is ~242,000 miles.

From the above radii you can calculate the volume of each object. By using the Gravitational Constant the masses of these objects can be calculated.

The Coriolis effect is the name given to the force of the Earth's rotation that mainly affects air flow. It causes moving air or water to be deflected to the right in the Northern Hemisphere and to the left in the Southern Hemisphere.

Yes, earthquakes can occur on other planets and celestial bodies within our solar system. For example, Mars experiences Marsquakes, which are similar to earthquakes but caused by the planet's internal processes. Likewise, the moon is also known to have moonquakes, which are caused by the gravitational forces between the Earth and the moon.

No, gravity holds planets in orbit around the sun because the sun's gravity pulls on them. This gravitational force between the sun and planets keeps them in their respective orbits. The force between planets themselves is much smaller and mainly affects their interactions with each other rather than their orbits around the sun.

Venus is the planet closest to Earth in terms of temperature. It has an extremely hot and inhospitable surface due to its thick atmosphere, which traps heat and creates a greenhouse effect. This makes Venus hotter than even Mercury, the closest planet to the Sun.

The first total solar eclipse visible in Nigeria occurred on October 29, 1947. Places like Lagos, Kano, and Maiduguri experienced totality during this event.

Earth's unique combination of a breathable atmosphere, liquid water, and a stable climate is what allows for the diversity of life, including humans and microorganisms, to exist. These conditions are not found together on any other planet in our solar system. Additionally, Earth's distance from the Sun and its magnetic field play important roles in protecting life from harmful solar radiation.

Sexual orientation is personal and private information. It is important to respect individuals and their right to disclose their sexual orientation on their own terms.

If Earth's gravity was a billion times stronger than a black hole's, everything on Earth would be crushed instantly under the immense gravitational force. The planet itself would collapse into a black hole due to the overwhelming gravity. Life as we know it would cease to exist.

Mars does not have large bodies of liquid water on its surface like Earth does. There is evidence to suggest that Mars once had liquid water on its surface in the past, but it has mostly evaporated or frozen over time. Today, any water on Mars exists mostly in the form of ice or vapor.

If Earth had such an extreme elliptical orbit, it would face significant challenges for sustaining life. At a million miles from the sun, the planet would suffer from extreme heat, potentially leading to the evaporation of oceans and the destruction of the atmosphere. Conversely, at a light year from the sun, Earth would freeze due to lack of solar radiation, making it uninhabitable.

Matariki, also known as the Pleiades star cluster, is about 440 light-years away from Earth. It is a prominent feature in the night sky and is often used for navigation and cultural observations by various indigenous groups around the world.

An explosion of 100 billion gigatons of TNT on Earth would likely cause catastrophic destruction on a global scale. It would result in massive loss of life, widespread devastation of cities, and severe environmental damage. The impact would likely trigger tsunamis, earthquakes, and a nuclear winter effect due to the resulting debris and dust blocking sunlight.

a special thing called the receiver and it retrieves the sun

The Earth shows no measurable change in size on a yearly basis, though we know from observing other planets that as the core cools, they shrink because we can observe ridges formed in the crust.

The size of Earth is amazingly stable, so much so that it was something that attracted the attention of Earth scientists. The Earth's core cools a little each year, so it should shrink a little. The core is about 5,000 degrees C and has cooled only a very small amount, less than 100 degrees in a billion years. The slow cooling is partially attributed to the generation of new heat from radioactive decay of heavy elements like Uranium. It is not completely clear however and a matter of continuing research.

That can't happen. But let's say the scenario was possible. Earth will be so hot, it would be a superheated ball of gas. There is no way a planet's surface is that hot. even the surface of the hottest star is much less than that. Only on the inside can stars be that hot. Life on Earth will be vaporized by the enormously high temperature.

No, you could not ride a roller coaster on the moon because there is no atmosphere to provide resistance and friction needed for the ride. Additionally, the gravity on the moon is much weaker than on Earth, making it difficult to generate the forces needed for a roller coaster ride.

The Earths diameter is 12742km on average. It is a slightly squashed sphere though, due to its spin pushing out at the equator. Its polar diameter is 12714km, while its diameter at the equator is 12756km

Sailors were and are able to use the Earth's magnetic field to navigate the seas because of the consistency of its orientation. The simple device known as a compass, which is used to indicate the direction of the Earth's magnetic field, contributes to navigational cues by giving an orientation of the ship through the act of comparison to the direction of the Earth's magnetic field, thus yielding useful information about the direction in which the ship sails. Unlike celestial bodies which can also be exploited to provide navigational information, the compass usually operates day or night and regardless of whether the sky is overcast. There are of course nuances in the operation of the compass, such as variation and deviation - allowances for slight local changes in geomagnetic force and differences between true north and magnetic north depending on global position (such as latitude).
