I was surprised I didnt know this about our planet Earth… Here
are some of the crazy facts about our planet.
 |
| Underwater Volcano Fukutoku Okanaba Eruption |
Millions of Volcanoes are stirring beneath the world’s
oceans. It has been estimated that a total of 3,477,403 volcanoes exists under
the ocean and 90% of all volcanic activity happens under the ocean.

| Earths core |
The temperature of Earth’s core is 10,800 F. That’s same as
the surface (photosphere) emitting solar flare at 10,000 F.
 |
| Earth’s Core (Gold) |
Earth’s core contains 1.6 quadtrillion tons of gold. Thats
99% of the gold on earth.
 |
| Earth’s Orbit |
Humans have polluted earth’s orbit from 150 miles to 22,500
miles pretty bad. Debris from manmade objects fall back to earth every single
day. There are 21,000 objects larger than 10 cm orbiting the Earth and the
orbit is so polluted that International
Space Center
has to be moved often to avoid collision with these objects.
 |
| International Space Station |
International Space Station is the most expensive man made
object build with a cost of a whopping USD 150 Billion.
 |
| Earth from space |
The furthest picture of earth was taken by Voyager
spacecraft in 1990 from a distance of 3.7 billion Miles. Here’s how it looks.
Who can tell from the picture that this tiny blue dot harbors intelligent life.

| Ozone layer shrinking chart |
Contrary to the popular belief that humans are destroying
Ozone and widening the hole, it has been reported that the Ozone layer actually
shrinked to record low in 2013.
 |
| Lightning Strikes |
Earth is hit by 8640000 lightening strikes per
day or 6000 lightening strikes every minute or 100 strikes a second,
360000 strikes per hour!!! Unbelievable!!
 |
| Ocean Reefs |
Antartica has as much ice as the Atlantic
Ocean has water. An estimated 50-80% of all life on earth is found
under ocean surface. The oceans contain about 99% of the living space on earth.
The pacific contains about 25,000 islands, thats more than the total number of
rest of the world’s oceans combined.
