15 Facts About Earth Sound Too Bizarre to Be True

When it comes to our planet, we consider everything about it to be well-known and usual. Surprisingly, we know much more about space than we do about our common planet. For example, we call Earth the blue planet, though scientists believe that it was not always blue. Inside it’s solid gold, but its surface is covered in viruses.

Throughout history, humanity hasn’t been able to learn everything about our planet. But the facts that we keep learning are so amazing that they motivate us to keep studying the world we live in. Did you know that our planet is gradually rotating slower and slower? And how birds can create clouds? Or that Earth’s toughest living thing is so small you can’t see it? Interested? Then check out these amazing facts about planet Earth that you may not be aware of!
