Our Earth - Chapter One - part 01

We live in a beautiful planet , created by God.
Some of us enjoy their life to the fullest.
Some were not.But both need to appreacite what they got.
It is not appropiate to live or life without knowing well about the place we live in.
It's like living in a house without knowing how many rooms that we have...and without knowing who is the owner....so..let's begin the journey.....

note : (information taken from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earth)

Let's get the most basic information of our big home...

Mean radius 6,371.0 km
Circumference 40,075.02 km
Surface Area 510,072,000 km²
148,940,000 km² land (29.2 %)
361,132,000 km² water (70.8 %)
Volume 1.0832073×1012 km³
Mass 5.9736×1024 kg
Mean density 5.5153 g/cm³
Equatorial surface gravity 9.780327 m/s² or 0.99732 g
Escape velocity 11.186 km/s or 40,270 km/h

Orbital period 365.256366 days or 1.0000175 yr
Average orbital speed 29.783 km/s or 107,218 km/h

Surface tempreture
min −89 °C
mean 14 °C
max 57.7 °C

Atmosphere
Surface pressure 101.3 kPa (MSL)
Composition 78.08% Nitrogen (N2)
20.95% Oxygen (O2)
0.93% Argon
0.038% Carbon dioxide
About 1% water vapor (varies with climate)

Well...for a start...as a warming up for our brain before going further on more details and complexity of our planet...

510,072,000 km² is our planet surface that God created for us.
How much is ours?
How much we got , manage and send back the profit to God?
How many times have we really sacrifice for it?
