The planet Earth is located about 150,000,000 kilometers away from the sun, but the distance is not constant.
The Earth is tiny in comparison with the rest of the universe - it could fit into the sun 1.3 million times.
Amazing fact: Mercury
A day on Mercury lasts longer than its year! Mercury moves around the sun faster than any other planet - making its year the equivalent of 88 Earth days. While a day on Mercury - the interval between one sunrise and the next - lasts 176 Earth days!
Amazing fact: Moon
The moon is the reason why we have tides and waves on Earth. Along with the sun, it moves billions of tonnes of water each day.
