	Earth - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Earth's shape is that of an oblate spheroid, with an average diameter of approximately 12,742 km (~ 40,000 km / π).
		The theory has revolutionized the earth sciences comparable in its unifying and explanatory power for diverse geological phenomena as was the development of the periodic table for chemistry, the discovery of the genetic code for biology, and quantum mechanics in physics.
		In Norse mythology, the Earth goddess Jord was the mother of Thor and the daughter of Annar.

	Earth's atmosphere - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Earth's atmosphere is a layer of gases surrounding the planet Earth and retained by the Earth's gravity.
		The modern atmosphere is sometimes referred to as Earth's "third atmosphere", in order to distinguish the current chemical composition from two notably different previous compositions.
		They were responsible for the initial conversion of the earth's atmosphere from an anoxic state to an oxic state (that is, from a state without oxygen to a state with oxygen).

	Earth
		The orbital speed of the Earth averages about 30 km/s (108,000 km/h), which is enough to cover one Earth diameter (~12,700 km) in 7 minutes, and one distance to the Moon (384,000 km) in 4 hours.
		The Chinese Earth goddess Hu-Tu is similar to Gaia, the deification of the Earth.
		In the past there were varying levels of belief in a flat Earth because of this, but ancient Greek philosophers and, in the Middle Ages, thinkers such as Thomas Aquinas knew that the Earth was a sphere.

	Earth - Facts, Information, and Encyclopedia Reference article
		Earth, also known as the Earth, Terra, and (mostly in the 19th century) Tellus, is the third-closest planet to the Sun.
		Since Earth is rather large, it is not immediately obvious to the naked eye viewing from the surface that it is an oblate spheroid, bulging slightly at the equator and slightly flattened at the poles.
		The technological developments of the latter half of the 20th century are widely considered to have altered the public's perception of the Earth.

		Since the Earth is revolving around the Sun, it actually has to rotate almost one degree (360 degrees/365.25 days) further until the Sun is in the same place in the sky, which is the definition of a day that everyone is used to.
		From The Nine Planets, the diameter of the Earth is 12,756 km, and the diameter of the Moon is 3,476 km.

	The Master Key to Earth's Riddles
		Much of the earth's land surface is not suitable for agriculture and for living.
		The Creationist view is that the Grand canyon and other canyons were formed during the separation of the earth; they were not carved out by rivers; on the contrary, the rivers just found their way through the canyon.
		The Earth is made for man to live in unity and harmony, but if we forget our Creator and spoil it, we shall not truly ‘inherit' the earth.

	Exploring Earth's Extremes Workshop
		Further instrument testing in Earth's extreme environments will foster the development of robust and reliable equipment for exploring analogous systems elsewhere.
		Extreme environments by nature are unpredictable, so, ideally, these perfected instruments should be fairly simple and expendable, as a loss of equipment is virtually inevitable at some point during the testing process.
		Dry environments host organisms able to remain dormant and desiccated at extremely high temperatures, organisms may thrive in liquid water found well below icy surfaces, and life flourishes near hydrothermal vents at the bottom of the ocean.

	Final Empire Chap 13
		The life of the earth was able to grow and develop because it remained in a state of dynamic balance.
		If the earth tilted even a few more degrees or if there were any deviation of the earth's orbit around the sun, the life of the earth would be greatly altered or non-existent.
		The earth, the complex blue and white speckled egg, is alive, and its life processes vary constantly as it spins.

		Extreme is what conditions can be on Earth.
		Extreme means "furthest from the ordinary" or "of the highest or utmost degree." Highest, deepest, longest, driest, coldest, wettest – Earth has many of its own special sets of extremes.
		Most people live in climates that are not "extreme" because they do not want to rely on special equipment just to survive.

		At a modest cost, and over a 5 to 10 year life-span, it would aim at providing the most comprehensive and multidisciplinary knowledge base of the complete record of mafic magmatism in and around Canada, and through stimulating international cooperation, around the world.
		Many of such questions relate to issues that are currently a focus of attention: global change, past climate extremes, complex Earth systems, planetary evolution, extinction events, flood volcanism, potential relationships with large impact events, and the discovery of new ore resources.
		The proposed project is a focused, "smart", and highly efficient approach to solve a large number of these seemingly unrelated but first-order questions in contemporary earth science.
