Earth is the third planet from the Sun and the fifth largest. The diameter of Earth is 7,926 miles.
About 30% of the Earth's surface is covered with land, while about 70% is covered by oceans.

Earth's Satellite

Earth has only one natural satellite, the Moon. But

• thousands of small artificial satellites have also been placed in orbit around the Earth.
• Asteroids 3753 Cruithne and 2002 AA29 have complicated orbital relationships with the Earth; they're not really moons, the term "companion" is being used. It is somewhat similar to the situation with Saturn's moons Janus and Epimetheus.
• Lilith doesn't exist but it's an interesting story.
