The Earth is one of the 4 rocky planets in our Solar System, the third closest to the 
Sun. She is the planet that we live on, and the only planet that have been confirmed to harbor life. The Earth is mainly made up of oceans (large bodies of salt water) and dirt. Scientists have speculated that the inside of the Earth contains molten magma and an extremely hard core (but we have never actually been to the insides of the Earth).
According to scientists, the Earth was formed about 4.5 billion years ago. Since then, there have been lots of life on the planet, varying from plants, dinosaurs, rats, and more. Humans became the most advanced species and civilization on Earth. Some people think the truth to life is the "
evolution" theory, where all life has a common ancestor, and with enough time a fish could turn into a human by "adapting" to the environment through changing their genes (and somehow not mutating). 
Theists believes that all things, including this Earth and life was created from a creator or several deities.
Earth doesn’t like when her humans fight and cause destruction. In some comics, humans are portrayed as parasites to the Earth, infecting her and making her think crazy things (like the Sun revolves around Earth).
Earth is also the deadliest planet because 99.999% of humans died on Earth
History
NOTE: THIS SECTION INCLUDES THEORIES AND MAY NOT BE ENTIRELY TRUTHFUL.
Hadean Eon (4540 MYA-4000 MYA)
The Hadean Eon was the earliest stage of Earth's life, characterized by an unlivable environment filled with lava and asteroids. Earth has been formed by combining rocks (planetesimals) that orbits the Sun. She was a hot rock of magma, and not protected by an atmosphere nor magnetic field. Baby Earth was very vulnerable.
These early conditions on Earth, with its hostile environment and frequent impacts, eventually gave way to a period known as the Late Heavy Bombardment around 4 billion years ago. During this time, numerous comets and asteroids bombarded the planet. The surface of the Earth was almost entirely molten rock. Riddled with volcanism, the wildly inhospitable planet orbits the Sun further out than it does today. 4.5 million years ago, the Earth rotates rapidly, revolving on her axis once every few hours.
Around 4.4 million years ago, 
scientists speculate that 
Theia, a hypothetical 
Mars-sized planet entity, became too close to Earth and crashed into her, causing Theia to die. The debris of the impact orbited around the Earth, forming a ring. The ring packed onto the 
Moon in just a few million years. Another theory is that the Earth was spinning really fast and causing a chunk of mass being stretched out and eventually thrown into space, forming the Moon.
Archean Eon (4000 MYA-2500 MYA)
Gradually, the Earth's surface cooled, forming a solid crust and stabilizing the climate. It also allowed for the existence of liquid water. Volcanic outgassing created a primitive atmosphere, and as the planet continued to change, Earth eventually became hospitable enough to support life. The liquid core had formed and created magnetic field, which protected the planet from harmful solar radiation and helped maintain a stable environment. The planetesimals and icy planets from the Hadean had hit the earth, containing Carbon, Nitrogen, Hydrogen and Oxygen, leading to the 
first ocean to form, but it was too toxic to support life. Rain came down and the landscape shifted and changed. Earth also underwent multiple global ice ages, known as "Snowball Earth".
Proterozoic Eon (2500 MYA-538.8 MYA)
As the atmosphere developed and the planet cooled further, water began to condense, leading to the formation of non-toxic oceans. These bodies of water played a crucial role in the development of life, providing a medium in which chemical reactions could take place. The first lifeforms appeared, in the late Precambrian period. These lifeforms include bacteria and weird enigmatic, tubular, frond-shaped, and mostly sessile, organisms known as Ediacaran biota.
Phanerozoic Eon (538.8 MYA-)
In the Phanerozoic Eon, life took hold of the planet. The next 289 million years, known as the Paleozoic Era, saw the creatures of the waters thrive, and also many plants, amphibians and land-dwelling reptiles appeared. This era had some of the most bizarre looking creatures of all time. The Cambrian Explosion, a sudden increase in more advanced creatures, happened for 13-25 million years (this event could not be explained by mainstream science). The Paleozoic also experienced four mass extinction events.
After the Paleozoic, was the Mesozoic Era, which lasted 186 million years. This era was dubbed the “age of the dinosaurs”, since in this era, the dinosaurs dominated every corner of the globe. In the middle of the Mesozoic, a supercontinent called “Pangaea” was formed. After a mass extinction event (usually thought as an asteroid impact) in 66 MYA, the dinosaurs were completely wiped out.
From 66 MYA to the present day is known as the Cenozoic Era, where mammals took the dinosaur’s throne and became the dominant species group (though not as dominant as the dinosaurs). Eventually, no more than one million years ago, human civilization appeared.
Humans almost instantly dominated the world, and became the most powerful and fastest advanced species on Earth. They developed farming, which helped sustainably feed a large population. Many civilizations also recall a “great flood” event that happened long ago. Sometimes, humans overuse resources and cause harm to the planet.
Composition
Earth is a terrestrial planet, meaning she is made of rocky materials. Her most common elements are iron, oxygen, silicon, magnesium, sulfur, nickel, calcium, and aluminum. The remainder (1.2%) consists of trace elements.
Scientists speculate that Earth is divided into four layers. From outside to inside, they are the crust, mantle, outer core, and inner core. The core is mostly made of iron and nickel, while her crust is mostly made of oxides, such as silicates. The mantle is also mostly made of oxides (silicates and magnesium oxides being the most common) and possibly Theia's remains.
Earth can also into magnetic field, which guides many species like birds to fly a certain path when migrating.
Surface Features
Earth holds many unusual surface features due to her unique climate. Her most notable surface features are her continents and oceans, which are the result of plate tectonics. Because of her atmosphere, there is a lack of craters due to erosion. Plate tectonics constantly jostles continents around, sometimes merging them into a single supercontinent. Plate tectonics is also responsible for creating many of Earth's mountain ranges and underwater trenches. The current formation of the tectonic plates have not moved for at least a millennia.
About 70% of Earth's surface is liquid water, with the remaining 20% being land.
Atmosphere
Earth's atmospheric pressure averages at 101.325 kPa (kiloPascals), with the height being about 8.5 km. The atmosphere is composed primarily (78%) of diatomic nitrogen, 21% diatomic oxygen, 0.9% argon, and 0.1% of trace elements.
Earth's lifeforms have changed her composition dramatically. For example, around 2.7 billion years ago, photosynthetic organisms released oxygen into the atmosphere. Some of this oxygen formed the ozone layer, O3. For reference, "normal" (diatomic) oxygen is O2. Ozone protects Earth from ultraviolet radiation. As another example, greenhouse gases (such as carbon dioxide and water vapor) have kept Earth warm. Without them, her temperature would be −18 °C (0 °F).
Trivia
- The Earth is the only planet in our solar system with a breathable atmosphere.
- Earth is the only planet to have been confirmed to have life forms.
- Earth is the only planet in our solar system that is not named after a
Greco-Roman god/godess (unless you use the name “Terra”). - Earth is the only planet in the solar system with a singular
Moon - The average matter density of Earth is 5.51 g/cm³.

How to draw
Earth has a drawing rating of intermediate.
Drawing Earthball is moderately easy, but can be difficult when you try to get as much details as possible.
- Draw a ball.
- Color it blue, for the ocean.
- Draw some landmasses in green, brown, tan and every color in between on the ocean.
- Add some white clouds covering the ball.
- Add a light shining blue ring around the ball to represent the atmosphere.
- Add eyes and you’re done!

Notes
- ↑ It is said that
Buddha himself knew that the world is round but withheld this fact from his disciples because they would not have believed it and it was not important to enlightenment. Buddha’s original teachings ( Hīnayāna) were geared towards the early minds of people who just had emerged out of ancient society twenty-five thousand years ago.

Humans cause “global warming” which damages the Earth, though the media heavily overexaggerates it. The main reason Earth hates humans is because they always go to war with each other.
