Recently, I read a book about common senses related to Earth.

I want to share with you guys, so I am writing this post!

If you have wondered about Earth,

then this post would be very interesting to you.

 

So, Let's go for it!

 

 

 

How long does it take to go round the earth once?

 

If your dream is to travel around the world, I think you should know about it.

 

First of all, If you ride a car around the earth at a speed of 120 kilometers per hour without stopping, it takes about 14 days to make one lap. Assuming that a person's walking speed is 4 km/h, it will take about 418 days. However, since the continents of the earth are divided by sea, it will be difficult to orbit the earth in a straight line. It is not an exact time because it is also impossible to move at the same speed without taking a break all day, but it is very fun. isn't it?

 

 

 


Five fun facts about Earth

 

Number one, a day is exactly 23 hours, 56 minutes, and 4.1 seconds.

 

Number two, a year is exactly 365.25 days.

 

Number three, the circumference of the Earth is 40,075 kilometers.

 

Number four, it takes 8 minutes and 18 seconds for the sunlight to reach the earth. This time is similar to the time to boil an egg.

 

Number five, the Earth is not a perfectly rounded shape. The top and bottom are pressed and the middle is similar to an orange that is a little bulging.

 

 

 

 


Earth not only is not too hot but also is not too cold

 

Earth is a planet where living creatures can live because of water. The earth is warm enough to melt ice but cool enough to not dry out all of the water. In astronomy, it is called the Goldilocks Zone. It is a place where the temperature is not too cold or too hot, so living creatures can live and survive.
