Earth
The ocean world we call home.
Earth is the only known planet with life, liquid surface water and a protective atmosphere that shapes a living climate system.
Earth's mission record is both exploration and self-observation: satellites, crewed stations and deep-time climate records turn the home planet into the atlas baseline.

Atmosphere
Composition and environmental character
Earth's nitrogen-oxygen atmosphere moderates temperature, shields the surface and drives the water cycle that keeps liquid oceans stable.
- Pressure
- 1 Earth atmosphere
- Weather
- Water-driven climate with jet streams, storms and seasons
Environmental shell
Pressure, weather and shielding layers
Earth's nitrogen-oxygen atmosphere moderates temperature, shields the surface and drives the water cycle that keeps liquid oceans stable.
Troposphere
Weather and water vapor
Most clouds, storms and climate feedbacks operate in this lower layer.
Stratosphere
Ozone shielding
Ozone absorbs damaging ultraviolet radiation and shapes thermal structure.
Magnetosphere
Solar wind deflection
The magnetic field protects the atmosphere and powers auroral displays.
Satellite system
Moons, rings and nearby targets
Earth's single large Moon stabilizes axial tilt, raises tides and preserves a record of impacts that the active Earth has erased.
1 confirmed natural satellite
Earth carries 1 known natural satellite in the core atlas dataset.
Moon
Rocky satellite
A tide-shaping companion and the only world beyond Earth visited by people.
Science priorities
Why Earth matters
The atlas treats every world as a live research case: geology, climate, interior structure and mission strategy are wired into the profile.
3 focus areas
Living ocean world
About 71% ocean cover
Earth is the only known planet with an active biosphere and stable surface oceans.
Plate tectonics
Active global recycling
The crust cycles carbon, builds continents and renews the surface over geologic time.
Climate observatory
Decades of satellite records
Earth observation links atmosphere, ice, land, oceans and human activity.
Missions
Earth mission dossier
Earth's mission record is both exploration and self-observation: satellites, crewed stations and deep-time climate records turn the home planet into the atlas baseline.
