Friday, April 22nd marks Earth Day 2022, and while we’re not limiting our pledge to live a little greener to a single day a year, it marks a great opportunity to teach our kids about living ...
If you’re looking forward to spring, you’re not alone. But it’s not just Easter and Mother’s Day that you might want to pencil in on your calendar—Earth Day falls on April 22 this year ...
Evidence suggests that life on Earth has existed for about 3.7 billion years. [30] All known life forms share fundamental molecular mechanisms, and based on these observations, theories on the origin of life attempt to find a mechanism explaining the formation of a primordial single cell organism from which all life originates.
Earth is the only known place that has ever been habitable for life. Earth's life developed in Earth's early bodies of water some hundred million years after Earth formed. Earth's life has been shaping and inhabiting many particular ecosystems on Earth and has eventually expanded globally forming an overarching biosphere. [242]
The origin of life on Earth is not well understood, but it is known to have occurred at least 3.5 billion years ago, [65] [66] [67] during the hadean or archean eons on a primordial Earth that had a substantially different environment than is found at present. [68] These life forms possessed the basic traits of self-replication and inheritable ...

It can also be termed as the zone of life on Earth, a closed system (apart from solar and cosmic radiation and heat from the interior of the Earth), and largely self-regulating. [100] Organisms exist in every part of the biosphere, including soil , hot springs , inside rocks at least 19 km (12 mi) deep underground, the deepest parts of the ...
The earliest evidence for life on Earth includes: 3.8 billion-year-old biogenic hematite in a banded iron formation of the Nuvvuagittuq Greenstone Belt in Canada; [30] graphite in 3.7 billion-year-old metasedimentary rocks in western Greenland; [31] and microbial mat fossils in 3.48 billion-year-old sandstone in Western Australia.
