71 % of the blue planet’s (the planet you are reading this on) surface is comprised of water.

The Pacific Ocean itself covers the area larger than the entire surface of Mars.

The Moon is the only moon of the planet Earth. It takes it a (lunar) month to rotate around the Earth as well as around its axis – it is tidally locked with the Earth there we only see one side of the Moon.

Photo by DSCOVR probe from 11th February 2021 when the Moon passed in front of the Earth. We can see the far side of the Moon. Due to slightly tilted orbit of the Moon, there was no solar eclipse in that time.
