Every year, scientists discover hundreds of planets beyond our solar system. Yet, no other planet comes close to what Earth is — no other planet is as life-giving as ours. Think about it, it’s neither too cold nor too hot, its elements support life like no other and it’s as cosy as a home can be!
Take the Terra Trivia Quiz to test your knowledge and explore what makes the Earth our home planet.
Answer these 10 questions in the comments section below!

Name the astronomical body that prevents drastic movements of the Earth’s poles by stabilising its rotation. It is also responsible for creating tides and is called Earth’s natural satellite.

This process is responsible for geological activities such as mountain-building and volcanic eruptions. Scientific theories suggest that this forms the crust and mantle of the Earth. This phenomenon was first discovered by Alfred Wegener in 1915. Do you know what it’s called?

This organism spreads over an area of 2,384 acres in eastern Oregon, USA and is considered the largest living organism on Earth. Discovered in 1998, the organism is also considered one of the world’s oldest living organisms. Can you guess what it is?

Name the astronomical body that is considered Earth’s second moon. It is one of the many Near-Earth Objects (NEOs) and has an orbit that’s synchronized with the orbit of our planet. It has an Irish name and was first discovered in 1986.

They are crucial to maintaining the Earth’s climate — they keep the nights warm and the days cool. They weigh millions of pounds but still float. What are these formations called?

It is called the weakest force of nature, yet it can bend light. Its absence would result in the collision of Earth and the Sun. Name the phenomenon.

Name the phenomenon deemed as the Earth’s natural sunscreen. The absence of this layer around the Earth would disrupt the food chain and severely damage the DNA of all living organisms.

What brings a blue appearance to the ‘Blue Planet’? It is also responsible for climate regulation and more than half of the world’s oxygen.

Name the imaginary line that is slightly tilted to ensure greater distribution of sunlight across a larger area of land. It also plays a significant role in the change of seasons.

Name the part of the Earth that witnesses sunrise and sunset only once a year. It regulates our planet’s climate by reflecting some of the sun’s rays back into space.

As an introverted teen who loved reading crime-thriller novels, Ashritha knew she was destined to be a writer. Like Dumbledore, Ashritha is a strong believer in the magic of words. She finds joy in the little things — a long walk at dawn, sipping a cup of filter coffee watching the sunset, or rewatching old rom-com movies that make her heart smile.
Arya C is a 4th grader who talks about her transition from the US to India and how BYJU`S has helped her at that. She also loves how BYJU`S has made learning a lot more fun.
Meet Sourabh who has a ton to say about his BYJU`S learning experience. His love for quizzes, games and other fun activities are paying off!
V Shriya is a class eight student who has been using BYJU’S for a year now. She shares her experiences with using the app and how it has helped her in improving her academic performance.

Q8.
Ocean and atmosphere. Ocean does not have a blue colour, atmosphere scatters blue light and it strikes the ocean reflects back into space giving earth it’s title of blue planet. Atmosphere and ocean both are important factors in climate.
Syed Omarulla Qadri

Q7.
Ozone layer. Sun’s UV radiation have the capability to pierce through objects and they can alter DNA. When UV radiation hit ozone get split into 3 oxygen atoms, these oxygen atoms combine to form ozone again hence this cycle continues.
