Scientists have looked all around our solar system, as well as other solar systems, to see if any planets host life like the plants and animals on ours.

By being close but not too close for the Sun we have the perfect temperature for life.

The length of Earth’s day is increasing.

When Earth was formed 4.6 billion years ago, its day would have been roughly six hours long. By 620 million years ago a day was around 22 hours. Today, the average day is 24 hours long, but is increasing by about 1.7 milliseconds every century. The reason? The moon is slowing down Earth’s rotation through the tides that it helps create.

The amount the days are changing is so small though that you won’t notice it in a lifetime.

We don’t feel the Earth itself spinning because we are held close to the Earth’s surface by gravity – that’s probably good because we would feel very dizzy moving that fast!
