Earth / ˈ ɜːr [invalid input: 'th'] / (also the world [n 5] , in Greek : Γαῖα Gaia , [n 6] or in Latin : Terra [26] ) is the third planet from the Sun , the densest planet in the Solar System , the largest of the Solar System's four terrestrial planets , and the only astronomical object known to harbor life . The earliest life on Earth arose at least 3.5 billion years ago. Earlier physical evidence of life includes graphite , a biogenic substance , in 3.7 billion-year-old metasedimentary rocks discovered in southwestern Greenland , as well as, "remains of biotic life " found in 4.1 billion-year-old rocks in Western Australia . [27] [28] Earth's biodiversity has expanded continually except when interrupted by mass extinctions . [29] Although scholars estimate that over 99 percent of all species of life (over five billion) [30] that ever lived on Earth are extinct , [31] [32] there are still an estimated 10–14 million extant species, [33] [34] of which about 1.2 million have been documented and over 86 percent have not yet been described. [35] Over 7.3 billion humans [36] live on Earth and depend on its biosphere and minerals for their survival . Earth's human population is divided among about two hundred sovereign states which interact through diplomacy , conflict, travel, trade and communication media . |

Earth , also known as the World , [26] Terra , [28] or Gaia , [30] is the third planet from the Sun , the densest planet in the Solar System , the largest of the Solar System's four terrestrial planets , and the only celestial body known to accommodate life . The Earth's biodiversity has evolved over hundreds of millions of years, expanding continually except when punctuated by mass extinctions. [31] Although more than 99 percent of all species that ever lived on the planet are estimated to be extinct, [32] [33] Earth is currently home to 10–14 million species of life . [34] [35] There are over 7.2 billion humans [36] who depend upon its biosphere and minerals . The Earth's human population is divided among about two hundred independent states that interact through diplomacy, conflict, travel, trade, and media . |
