Have you ever wondered who came up with the name of our planet?
You probably did not know this but unlike other planets, no real historical data can be found on the person (or group) that named our planet "Earth". The term Earth comes from Old English and High Germanic and is the only planet not named after a Greek or Roman god. It means "The Ground".
The Eath isn't round!
As you may know Earth is teeming with viruses. There are an estimated 10 nonillion individual viruses on the planet. Another fact you may not know is nonillion is a number with 36 zeros. That's enough to assign one to every star in the universe 100 million times over.
You inhale Cosmic Dust daily
"Cosmic dust" sounds magical, but chances are you've inhaled a good amount of it just on your way to work. On a daily basis, dust from meteorites, comets, and other solar bodies fall to earth in tiny particles that increase the levels of sodium and iron in the planet's atmosphere. Scientists studying the phenomenon estimate that altogether, about 60 tons of cosmic dust is falling to earth daily.
Saharan dust
Dust can travel in the atmosphere, and besides causing odd-colored rain, can also make the sky look hazy and cause asthma attacks in vulnerable people. You can get Saharan dust all over the world.
