From the phenomenon of exploding lakes to places that have never been touched by rain, here are some astonishing facts about Earth.
Some researchers claim Earth once had two natural satellites, but the two collided, which is thought to be the cause of the difference between the two sides of the Moon today.
In addition to the Moon, some researchers think that Earth has other natural satellites in the form of space rocks with a size of at least 3.3 meters whose status is temporary as various objects of the same type change positions with each other.
Shil DasSarma from the University of Maryland thinks the Earth was once dominated by a purple color due to a type of molecule released by ancient microbes.
Because the shape is not perfectly spherical, the distribution of gravity on Earth becomes less evenly distributed. This causes Hudson Bay in Canada to be the area with the weakest gravitational force on the planet.
The Racetrack Playa area, Death Valley, California, has a large rock that can move on its own without the role of any living creature.
Earth has three explosive lakes, namely Nyos and Monoun in Cameroon and Kivu on the border between Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of the Congo due to the volcanoes beneath them.
Iran's Dasht-e Lut Desert is the hottest point on Earth, with a record high temperature there of 70.7 degrees Celsius between 2003 and 2009.
Vostok in Russia is the coldest place in the world. The lowest temperature ever recorded reached a lift of -89.2 degrees Celsius, with August being the coldest month there.
The Atacama Desert, which stretches across Chile and Peru, is the driest place in the world, and there is even a point where no rain has ever been recorded.
The Mid-ocean Ridge is the longest mountain range in the world, stretching up to 65,000 kilometers. The location is at a depth of 5.5 kilometers from below sea level.
The Mariana Trench, which spans 2,550 kilometers between Australia and Japan, has the deepest point on Earth, the Challenger Deep, which lies more than 11,000 below sea level.
The lowest plateau on Earth is in the Dead Sea, which lies between Jordan, Israel and the West Bank. The surface of the place is at 423 meters below sea level.
Mauna Kea is arguably the highest mountain in the world with a size of 17,170 meters, but only 4,170 meters above sea level, while Everest has a height of 8,848 meters above sea level.
With an area of about 155 million square kilometers, the Pacific Ocean has more than 50% of the water on Earth, even an entire continent would fit if placed there.
Although only the fifth largest continent, Antarctica holds 70% of the total fresh water on Earth, plus it also has about 90% of the planet's ice.
