Glossary term: पृथ्वी

सूर्यापासून पृथ्वीचे सामान्य अंतर सुमारे 150 दशलक्ष किलोमीटर आहे. हे एक खगोलशास्त्रीय एकक म्हणून परिभाषित केले आहे. पृथ्वीला सूर्याची कक्षा पूर्ण करण्यासाठी ३६५.२६ वेळ लागतो. पृथ्वीचा एक नैसर्गिक उपग्रह आहे जो चंद्र म्हणून ओळखला जातो.
पृथ्वी ही मानवांसह लाखो सजीव प्रजातींचे घर आहे; विश्वात आजपर्यंतचे हे एकमेव ठिकाण आढळले आहे जेथे जीवन आहे. हे सुमारे 4.54 अब्ज वर्षांपूर्वी तयार झाले असे मानले जाते. पृथ्वीवर वातावरण आणि चुंबकीय क्षेत्र आहे जे हानिकारक किरणोत्सर्ग रोखण्यासाठी कार्य करते आणि म्हणूनच सजीवांच्या जगण्यासाठी अनुकूल आहे. पृथ्वीवरच्या विस्तृत पृष्ठभागावर पाणी आहे (सौरमालेतील एकमेव ग्रह असे असण्यासाठी ज्ञात आहे), ज्यामुळे पृथ्वीला निळा रंग येतो.
