how huge it is. In our solar system, can we find a planet that supports life? Can living things survive there? However, Scientists have found a planet in the solar system that is similar to planet Earth in some things and it is called planet Venus. Venus is usually called the “Sister of the Earth” or “twin sister” because of the similarities that Venus has to Earth. Technically, there are some similarities and differences between both planets that will be compared and contrasted. The first major
Planet Earth is home to millions of species of life, including ourselves. It is unique in the Solar System because it is the only planet which is able to support a great variety of life: from basic living micro-organisms to highly sophisticated and intelligent human beings. The planet provides the necessary resources and products to support the biosphere that can support the global living organism’s population. Yet, what factors allow Earth to sustain life? Life as we recognize it requires specific
Planet Earth is the only home people have ever known ,but people cannot stay on it forever because due to the loss of biodiversity , pollution , deforestation and the rising of the temperature caused by people .the good news is that people are in a new space race . Its believed that by the mid 2030’s human can orbit , live and occupy other planets safely . Humans are living organisms that cannot make their own food , therefor need to feed on other substances like plants that make their own food
Environmental Progression When we think about our future, we see ourselves in a prosperous earth, even when in reality that’s not the case. Technology has had a big factor in our society’s progression but it has also impacted our environment negatively. We have not seen the full damage that we have done to our environment due to technological advances. Currently, we tend to only see the good things happening that benefit us. When we do see the negative effects, we do very little to improve the
also known as the red planet, is the fourth planet away from the sun. It is the second smallest planet in the solar system after Mercury. Mars was named after the Roman god of war. In many Chinese cultures Mars was known as the fire star, which is a name that was based on the ancient Chinese, and was it was usually associated with war and death. Mars has two moons; Phobos and Deimos. These two moons are just like Earth’s moon, because they present the same face to their planet. This essay will recognize
Berry uses the metaphor that Earth is a living planet because of all of the diverse lifeforms it has created and by doing this, he really brings to mind what we as humans aren 't appreciating this beautiful planet like we should. McFague states "climate change is surely the most severe test that humanity has ever faced, not only in terms of survival but equally important, in regard to our ‘humanity '. This quote is very important because the reason that this planet is dying has a lot to do with
The planet Earth has been around for a really long time. Trees covered the grounds and all kinds of animals roamed the land. But this was before humans began to burn fossil fuels, before land was starting to be cleared, and before the climate began to change. The change in climate on planet Earth is called ‘global warming’. Some people do not believe that this phenomenon is really happening. Based on the facts, it really is happening. The surface of the Earth is warming rapidly and humans are a main
Earth has a population of more than six billion people. As this number continues to grow, the populated land masses fill up, and it seems that eventually they will all be overcrowded. Certain areas are already showing this overpopulation, such as large American cities including Los Angeles and New York City. Some countries do not suffer from overcrowding due to high population, but to a high ratio of population to resources. As the natural resources of an area are depleted, the quality of life of
with. Just like that, Earth has all the necessities for us to survive on. It has water for us to drink, air for us to breathe, and terrain for us to live on. Unlike other planets, Earth is the only planet whose name does not come from Greek or Roman Mythology. Its German name is Erde, which means dirt or ground. More than two-thirds of the Earth is covered in water. Earth is the third planet from the sun and is the biggest of the inner rocky planets. In the end, Earth has everything we need
The planet earth is a complex environment in which various organisms have cycled through their time of existence for millions of years. All species that have lived are destined for extinction at some point in time, and this is a natural process and cycle. Mass extinctions are this process at an extreme rate. In fact, many scientists today suspect that earth is on the verge of the sixth mass extinction. In order to better analyze this, one must understand what a mass extinction is, the history of
The Effects of Human on the Planet Earth Our world has seen a significant increase in the weather climate and there has been considerable amount of changes to the earth’s geological form. Many scientists have come to the conclusion that the earth is experiencing global warming and although we may try to avoid it, it is happening as we speak and if we don’t do something about it, we may end up having a high increase in carbon dioxide levels. Many different researchers and writers have touched base
we set off for our trip to what was once known as “Planet Earth”. Many stories have been told of this Earth. One site in specific would be a land known as the “U.S.A”. It is said that many years ago, there was great war between all the countries. Bombing left and right, leaving only 30% of the sites remaining. I have been waiting for this day for many years now. When I was a child, my favorite study was History, we learned all about Planet Earth. Since those years I have dreamed of traveling there
Planet is a complicated, powerful system we do not still comprehend. The planet system like the humane encompasses different element that interact in complex ways. Our planet is interchanging on all spatial scale. A protracted generation ago a phenomenal occurrences arose in the universe. An element entail life arose and it was composed of fundamental fragments that look just like everything else over. I have protracted presume that life emerged on our planet relatively 3.5 billion years ago. However
The age of the planet earth is sometimes a controversial topic, most believers, usually Christians, believe that due to what the bible has provided, the earth is somewhere near 6,000-12,000 years old. That’s only how far back the bible goes as for stories. An argument about it is that the bible only implies that humans have been around for 6,000+ years and not necessarily the earth itself, but with the beliefs of Adam and Eve, a lot of Christians think that. The common belief about the first humans
Earth has been called the blue planet and not without reason. The ocean covers about three quarters of the earth’s surface and plays a vital role in our survival. It bounty feeds millions of people daily. Its surface absorbs more than ninety five percent of the solar radiation that reaches our planet. It is integral to the water cycle and it regulates our planets climate. But none of these roles would be fulfilled without the movement of the ocean. The currents, ribbons of movement within the greater
influence on human well-being among poor populations mostly in developing countries than among wealthy populations. It has become a matter of urgency to balance the issues of development and environment so that the current generation hands over the earth to their future generation without any further damage to the environment. The development process of any kind should always be sustainable. Sustainable development is a recent concept that has become important for a wide range of people and industries
While watching the video “Planet Earth Pole to Pole” I have learned many things such as One hundred years ago, there were 1 billion people on earth, and now there are more than 6 billion on earth. There are still places on earth where people have yet to interfere. One of the main reasons this is so untouched by humans is because of the harsh climates in these areas. The sun controls the life on earth. If the sun’s rays are too strong things will not grow and if the sun’s rays are weak things
Global warming refers to the increasing temperature of the earth’s atmosphere due to rises in CO2 and other pollutants, collectively referred to as greenhouse gases. This increase in the concentration of greenhouse gases is leading to climate changes experienced world-wide. The warming of the earth’s atmosphere has resulted in the rise of water temperatures in oceans and seas. The coral reef ecosystem is highly sensitive to even the smallest of changes in temperature. As sea temperatures rise, the
is happening on earth. The public has already capitalized in looking at the negative effects of global warming without looking also at the positive side. The negative effects of global warming are well documented in journals and books for instance Chilcoat (2014) outlines that the effects are rising sea levels, melting ice caps, loss of habitat for polar bears and other species, mass dislocation and disruptions around the globe among other effects. With this documentation, the earth becomes no longer
with so much pollution in the forests, cities and suburbs that we may have to inhabit another planet. Some of the main problems are water pollution, noise pollution, air pollution and many more different forums of pollution. Comprising over 70% of the earth , water is the most valuable resource. Life on Earth would be non existent while not water as a result of it's essential for everything on our planet to grow. The human body consists of 50-80% water. Close to ninety five percent of the brain is
