It is a viscous mixture of molten rock about 1.800 mi / 2.900 km thick and has the consistency of caramel. Together with the inner core, Earth also has an outer core, with the crust being the mantle and the thickest layer.This is hotter than the surface of the Sun. The temperatures at the core have been estimated to be around 9.800 degrees Fahrenheit / 5.400 degrees Celsius. This suggests that the Earth’s core is solid, made of iron and nickel about 759 miles / 1.221 kilometers in radius.Earth has the greatest density out of all the planets in the solar system - 5.51 g/cm³ - and a gravity of 9.807 m/s² or 1 g.The highest temperatures on Earth can reach up to more than 110 degrees Fahrenheit / 48 degrees Celsius, and the lowest around -126 degrees Fahrenheit / -88 degrees Celsius, maybe even lower.The atmosphere of Earth is divided into 6 layers: troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere, thermosphere, exosphere, and ionosphere.The thickness of the atmosphere is about 60 miles / 96 kilometers.The mixture of gases is commonly known as air. The atmosphere of Earth is composed of roughly 78% nitrogen, 21% oxygen, 0.97% argon and carbon dioxide and about 0.04% other gases and water vapor.In regards to land, the continent of Asia covers about 30% of all the land, having around 60% of the world’s population.

Of that 3% freshwater, over 2% is frozen in ice sheets and glaciers meaning that less than 1% is freshwater found in lakes, rivers, and the underground. Around 71% of the surface is covered by water and 29% by land.The surface area of Earth is about 197 million square miles / 510 million square kilometers.Earth has a mass of about 6.6 sextillion tons and a volume of about 260 billion cubic miles / 1 trillion cubic kilometers.The Earth has a diameter of 12.742 km / 7.917 mi.It has an equatorial radius of 6.371 km / 3.958 mi, and a polar radius of 6.356 km / 3.949 mi, meaning it is not completely spherical but rather bulged at the equator due to rotation.It is the fifth-largest planet in the Solar System, being the largest of the terrestrial planets.Earth is the third planet from the Sun, at a distance of 1 AU or 147 million km / 91 million mi.Earth is estimated to have formed around 4.5 billion years ago – almost one-third of the age of the universe – through accretion from the solar nebula.However, the Greek equivalent to Earth is Gaia – terra mater – mother Earth, and Roman equivalent was Tellus – the fertile soil.The name “Earth” – is at least 1.000 years old, and it is a Germanic word which simply translates to “the ground.” It is not known who came up with it but it is the only planet that wasn’t named after a Greek or Roman god.Plato correctly deduced that the Earth is spherical but this idea would take root and be proven much later.The realization that Earth is a planet, and a planet among many others was established “fairly” recently, in the 17 th century – this realization came through by the combined forces of ancient philosophers, mathematicians, and astronomers.Just give it a try - any of the 11 segments - and see if you don't want to then watch all of them. There are too many positive adjectives I could use to even begin, in recommending you watch this.

Planet earth i just translate it series#

Much of this series is simply mind-boggling to view, especially all the overhead shots, which were stunning.

What makes this so special is that, thanks to incredible work by cameramen, we are privy to many extraordinary sights we would never see, if left on our own, and never imagined existed on this planet. On land or in water, it's simply a matter of survival, as this BBC series shows us. That's it, except for pets or zoo animals.

After viewing 11 discs, you come to the obvious conclusions that in the Earth's world of animals, birds and fish come only a few objectives: where to find food, water, a mate, and escape being devoured by a predator. It isn't needed: the beauty of this earth says it all, and the writers were smart enough to figure that out during this series. Only at the very end do you get a short environmental message. Here, the writers and narrator David Attenborough just present the world as it is. Obviously, the incredible photography and sharpness/color (please see this on high-def, if you can) is the first thing that captures the viewer's eye, but as the series went on I appreciated the objectivity in here ('aw, cute' shots mixed in with the brutality of existence) and the lack of environmental propaganda, which one usually gets in boatloads in these 'nature' films. Looking back, I still shake my head in amazement at the things I saw on these discs. Thankfully, I caught a couple of these episodes on American television, which led me to this 11-part series on Blu-Ray DVDs and over five hours of outstanding entertaining and education.
