Why is Earth called earth because nearly three quarters of it is covered in water?

The term "Earth" likely comes from Old English and Germanic words meaning "ground" or "soil." While much of Earth's surface is covered by water, it may have been named for the solid ground that supports life.

If the sun was a hollow ball how many Earths could fit inside of it?

A ball the size of the Sun would have 1.3 million times the volume of the Earth,

using an approximation of the Sun's diameter based on the outer photosphere and the equatorial bulge.

Fitting Earth-size spheres into a Sun-sized sphere would leave a lot of empty space between Earths, but the actual comparison of volumes is the most salient fact.

(see related question below)

What is the distance from the surface of the earth to the center in km?

The average distance from Earth's surface at the equator its center is about 6378 km. The distance from near the north and south poles to the center is somewhat less.

How are pictures taken of earth?

High resolution satellites (e.g. those operated by commercial satellite companies like GeoEye or DigitalGlobe) are used to take pictures of Earth.

A lot of the imagery comes from aerial photographers mostly in airplanes with special high resolution cameras. Some of the imagery even comes from kites and balloons.

Is there any island with only women inhabitants?

It is possible, in theory, to exist artificially, but since the presence of men in the natural environment would be required to facilitate human reproduction and the continuity of humans (male or female) on such an island, it could not exist beyond a single generation.

So, not possible in nature. Theoretically possible with some type of artificial technology or process such as, migration from the island for procreation purposes, or importation of sperm for use in gender-selective, artificial-insemination procedures.

There was a nation, existing only in myth and legend, known as Sarmatia, which was home to the female warriors, known as Amazons. It wasn't an island, however.

Are the continents on top of the earth's plates?

A continent is what floats on top of the plate. There are continental and oceanic plates. The continents float on the continental plate and the ocean sits on the oceanic plate. But there are also plates that carry both continents and oceans. The plates are what causes continental drift. So basically plates are what carry the continents and oceans.

Can you list me all the animals in the forest?

Common animals found in forests include deer, squirrels, rabbits, foxes, bears, birds (such as owls and woodpeckers), raccoons, and various types of insects and amphibians. The specific animals vary depending on the region and type of forest.

The earth is the blank planet from the sun?

Plant earth is the third planet from the sun. This is partly why earth can sustain life. This keeps the temperature reasonable for life to exist.

About how many years of Earth's history was PreCambrian?

Earth was formed somehwat less than 4.6 billion years ago. The Cambrian Era begins around 542 million years ago. Subtracting these times provides for a PreCambrian Era of around 4 billion years in length.

This time period makes up around 87% of Earth's total history.

Liquid part of the earth is called?

The liquid part of the Earth is called the outer core, which is a layer beneath the Earth's mantle. It is composed mainly of iron and nickel in a liquid state. The movement of this liquid outer core is responsible for generating the Earth's magnetic field.

What planet other than earth had water flowing?

Only one planet, Earth, has flowing liquid water.

However, liquid water may exist on Jupiter's moon Europa, under a thick outer surface of ice (up to 10 km thick). It is possible, though unconfirmed, that heat is formed from tidal friction with Jupiter's gravity, and at least some of the water is liquid.

What side of the earth is Europe on?

Europe is located on the eastern side of the Earth, between the North Atlantic Ocean to the west and the Ural Mountains to the east.

How does Mars effect Earth?

Mars has minimal direct effects on Earth. The gravitational pull of Mars does exert a small influence on Earth's orbit, but it is negligible compared to the effects of the Moon or even other planets like Jupiter. Mars is too far away to have any significant impact on Earth's daily life or environment.

If the answer is the earth what could the question be?

  • What is the third planet from the sun?
  • What is the only known planet with life?

The earth makes one complete turn on its axis every?

24 hours. This is called a "solar day".

Well, to be precise, exactly one rotation of the Earth is 23 hours 56 minutes. This is called a "sidereal day", or a day with reference to the fixed stars. The Earth is moving at about 67,000 miles per hour in its orbit, so it takes the Earth another 4 minutes to spin around to have the same alignment with the Sun as the previous day.

What are 3 processes that sustain life on earth?

Photosynthesis, respiration, and nutrient cycling are three key processes that sustain life on Earth. Photosynthesis allows plants to convert sunlight into energy, respiration releases energy from food for living organisms, and nutrient cycling ensures that essential elements like carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus are recycled through ecosystems.

How does the existence of organisms in hot springs relate to the scientific hypothesis of how life forms arose on earth?

That's a bit of a nonsense question. The existence of life is consistent with *any* and *every* hypothesis that tries to explain the existence of life, scientific or not. The existence of life is the very thing that the hypothesis is trying to explain, so necessarily the hypothesis assumes it and must therefore be consistent with it.

The same goes for the *kind* of life we find on Earth: since any scientific hypothesis must explain the life we find here, such a hypothesis must necessarily be consistent with the life we find.

How far away from Earth is the Space Center?

The Johnson Space Center is about halfway between Houston and Galveston in southern Texas,

which, admittedly, is a region located pretty far from earth.

If you're asking where the center of the universe is located, then every point in the universe

has that property. In other words, wherever in the universe an astronomer is located, everything

he can see in every direction looks as though it's distributed through the same range of distances

away from him. From everything we can see or detect, every point in space is the center of it.

Could life exist without compounds?

No because they are elements an we need elements to live.

Your welcome for your answer right? :) P.S if your looking for any more elements go chemicool.com put the name of your element and it would give you all of the answers. ;P <3

What are the similarities and differences between a life raft and a moderately sized island and the planet Earth?

Similarities:

  • Both life rafts and islands provide a habitat for living organisms. Differences:
  • Life rafts are man-made and temporary, while islands are natural and more permanent.
  • Planets like Earth are much larger and have complex ecosystems that support a wide variety of life forms.

How did the view of the ocean by early Mediterranean cultures influence the naming of planet earth?

As the early Mediterranean cultures viewed the planet as large landmasses surrounded by smaller bodies of water it is easy to understand their misconception of the planet being composed of more earth than water

What is the percent of abundance of mercury on earth?

Less than 0.01 percent.
Mercury's abundance in Earth's crust is 85 parts per billion by weight, 9 parts per billion by moles.

The most abundant naturally forming isotope is 202Hg is at 29.86%.

What is the best website for a fact file about planet earth?

The best website for a fact file about planet Earth would be National Geographic's Earth section, as it provides comprehensive and accurate information about our planet's geography, ecosystems, and natural phenomena.

What makes this world a better place?

Acts of kindness, compassion, and understanding make the world a better place. When individuals come together to support one another, promote equality, and take care of the environment, they contribute to making the world a more positive and sustainable place for all.
