Average Speed in Orbiting Sun 18 miles per second

Diameter 7,926 miles

Tilt of Axis 23 degrees

Length of Year 365 Days

Length of Day 23 hours 56 minutes

Gravity 2 times that of Mars

Other Interesting Facts

  • Third planet from the sun and the only world known to support an atmosphere with free oxygen, oceans of liquid water on the surface and — the big one — life!

  • Mother Earth has a generous waistline: At the equator, the circumference of the globe is 24,901 miles (40,075 kilometers).

  • Depending on where you are on the globe, you could be spinning through space at just over 1,000 miles per hour. People on the equator move the fastest, while someone standing on the North or South Pole would be perfectly still. Imagine a basketball spinning on your finger.
