Earth is an average quality article, but could be even better! Take this article to the next level, and perhaps even further, by editing it, adding pictures, creating more sections, and adding links to make it a High Quality Article, or possibly an Ultra Quality Article! |

Earth is Fair Game! This article is about something that exists in the real world, and therefore it is fair game, which means anybody can edit it, without having to worry about OOC (out-of-character) rules! (within good reason) |

The Earth is our planet. It's also called Planet Earth, Blue Planet and Terra. It has seven continents, six of which are mostly inhabited by humans and one by penguins. The things that live on Earth have completely changed its air or atmosphere. This is called a biosphere.
About 75% of Earth's surface is covered in salt water oceans. Earth is the only place in the universe where liquid water is known to exist. The other 25% is made of rocky land in the shape of continents and islands. The Earth orbits or goes around the Sun roughly once every 365 ¼ days. One spin is called a day and one orbit around the Sun is called a year. This is why we have 365 days in a year and a leap year every four years. Earth has only one moon, known as the Moon, or Luna. Luna stabilizes the planet's spin axis and is tidally locked to the Earth, meaning that only one side of it faces the Earth at any time.

Penguin-controled[edit]
Antarctica[edit]
Antartica is the best continent of all (undeniable fact), it's very cold and covered with snow and ice. It has the most contries, the superpower and most populated country is the United States of Antarctica.
Other realms[edit]
- It has been confirmed that there are seven other planets in orbit around the sun -- Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. There was another space rock that orbited named Pluto, but that's not considered a planet anymore, but rather a dwarf planet. Poor Pluto.
- Other dwarf planets include Ceres, Eris, Makemake, and Haumea.
- There are rumors of two space station outposts in orbit around Uranus (an ice giant in the outer solar system) and on Enceladus (a moon of Saturn, which is a gas giant also in the outer solar system).
- There is an asteroid inhabited by turkeys, according to Candlewick.
- Planets X and Y, from the plays of the same name, plus a large moon. The presence of life there is debated by astronomers.
- Nothing - A virtual world based in Antarctica where space is infinite.
Trivia[edit]
- Earth is the only place in the universe where life has been confirmed to exist.
- A poll was made on a website, "What is most awesome planet?", Earth won with 96%.
