Earth
Earth is the third planet from the Sun , and the densest and fifth-largest of the eight planets in the Solar System . It is also the largest of the Solar System's four terrestrial planets . It is sometimes referred to as the world or the Blue Planet. [ 22 ]
Our Moon makes Earth a more livable planet by moderating our home planet's wobble on its axis, leading to a relatively stable climate, and creating a rhythm that has guided humans for thousands of years. The Moon was likely formed after a Mars-sized body collided with Earth and the debris formed into the most prominent feature in our night sky. Featured Mission: GRAIL The Gravity Recovery And Interior Laboratory (GRAIL) mission will create the most accurate gravitational map of the Moon to date, improving our knowledge of near-side gravity by 100 times and of far-side gravity by 1000 times.
