Earth Visualization
Explore the curvature, rotation, and real-time physics of our planet.
š Earth Overview
- Diameter at Equator: 12,756 km
- Surface Area: 510 million kmĀ²
- Land vs Ocean: 29% land / 71% ocean
- Mass: 5.97 Ć 10Ā²ā“ kg
- Density: 5.52 g/cmĀ³
- Surface Gravity: 9.80665 m/sĀ² (yes, flerfs, that's acceleration)
- Escape Velocity: ~11.2 km/s
- Gravity Type: Emergent from spacetime curvature (Einsteinian), yet visibly real and reliably measurable
- Rotation Rate: One full spin every 24 hours (~1,670 km/h at the equator)
- Axial Tilt: 23.4Ā° (the reason seasons happen, not a conspiracy)
- Cloud Drift Speed: Slightly faster than planetary rotation (~18.5-hour cycle for high-altitude bands)
- Model Notes: Real-time visualization accelerated slightly for viewer clarity while preserving physical ratios
* Gravity: not a fictitious forceājust inconvenient for those ignoring decades of physics (and spectacular rocket coverage from Everyday Astronaut).

š§ About This Visualization
This interactive globe simulates Earthās curvature, axial tilt, and orbital rotation. Lighting mimics solar positioning, and real-time controls let you inspect the geometry from any angleāsomething flat-Earthers arenāt fond of.
