Could be a geologic fact, social fact, environmental fact, or anything else. But, make sure you list a FACT. |
| Well Now That You Mention It |

It takes over a 100,000 years for light to get from the core of the sun to the earth's surface. |

IMO, the most amazing fact is that it exists in a temperature range that allows H2O to be liquid. That is a relatively narrow temperature band when looking at cosmic scales. Liquid water is essentially what allowed life - ANY life - to form on Earth. |

Every 400 years the Earth goes through a flaring stage known as "Folkson". Essentially, the tectonic plates do a shifting from each point, and there is usually a temp drop of about 30 degrees for a day, and then the sky |

The perfect conditions for water, the perfect gravitional pull and the fact that the magnetic poles actually shift from time to time. When it comes to earth, too many things have lined up so perfectly that it is almost impossible to say it was all random. |

...sorry, I meant to add, 'except that there were trillions of chances with planets throughout the universe so that it was essentially inevitable that the perfect conditions would arise over and over again'. |

Yep, we lucked out--though, I suppose, with 100 sextillion (the low-ball estimate) stars in the universe, it was kinda likely that one or more of their planets would be life-friendly. And, given that one of those is OUR planet--special people that we are!--we'd like to think there was something other than chance involved... |
