Sunlight can penetrate clean ocean water to a depth of 240 feet.
Only 3% water of the earth is fresh, rest 97% salted. Of that 3%, over 2% is frozen in ice sheets and glaciers. Means less than 1% fresh water is found in lakes, rivers and underground.
The total surface area of the Earth is 197 million square miles.
The deepest depth in the ocean is 36,198 feet (6.9 miles or 11 kilometers) at the Mariana Trench, in the Pacific Ocean well south of Japan near the Mariana Islands.
The deepest hole ever made by humans is in Kola Peninsula in Russia, was completed in 1989, creating a hole 12,262 meters (7.6 miles) deep.
Each winter there are about 1 septillion (1, 000, 000, 000, 000, 000, 000, 000, 000 or a trillion trillion) snow crystals that drop from the sky.
The Arctic stays black and fiercely cold for months on end. In the High Arctic, the sun sets in October and does not rise again until late February.
The hottest planet in the solar system is Venus, with an estimated surface temperature of 864 F (462 C).
The temperature of Earth increases about 36 degrees Fahrenheit (20 degrees Celsius) for every kilometer (about 0.62 miles) you go down.
Monaco is the Highest Density Country of the world, 16,205 people per square k.m. live in Monaco.
Rain has never been recorded in some parts of the Atacama Desert in Chile.
The world's windiest place is Commonwealth Bay, Antartica with winds regularly exceeding 150 miles per hour.
The lowest dry point on earth is the Dead Sea in the Middle East is about 1300 feet (400 meters) below sea level.
