Approximately 4.5 billion years ago, the Earth formed from particles left over from the creation of our sun. If you'd like to learn more about our home planet, read on here: on.natgeo.com/2Q4Vtye

"Approximately 4.5 billion years ago"........u don't know for sure if is gonna rain tomorrow or not but u know what happened billions years ago..

not too close to the sun but not too far , all the rains , the clouds , the plants , the animals ,the humans , and life it self it is just a simple stupid coincidence because some big stupid rocks crush each others...some...."billions years ago"....

It's sad how we are literally the only planet in the universe that we know of so far that can hold all this life, and we just pollute and destroy it.

[@sequoia689]

Perhaps you should watch National Geographics video on Mercury, how it shrinks and has been shrinking since the advent of time. There are no life forms there to pollute it, but they admit it is self-destructive. And so is the whole of life and nonlife. Wear and tear happens to them all.

[@earth4724]

Yeah guys don't pollute me and destroy me :(

[@SomeLad12]

@Minal Nandu it’s too expensive

[@danc5644]

The Earth makes no distinction between destruction and construction. It does not care if its form changes. We are but an extension of what the universe allows to exist, and we are given a specific nature. LIFE itself, has a specific nature. That nature is to exploit. As artificial as we make ourselves out to be, it couldn't be any more natural. Things will run their course, and we will perish in place of some other extension of matter to take our place. The Earth won't remain a paradise to life forever, and if it weren't us destroying it, it would be something else. Gas powered cars are no less natural than life itself. It is a byproduct of a byproduct. There is an order that brackets its way down, and each spoke has its purpose, whether you deem it beneficial or destructive. People will continue to 'destroy' the Earth because of their nature. That is the way the world allowed it to be. Just remember though: You only call it destruction because it leads to yours. The Earth will still be here, millions and millions of years after we are gone.

I know a lot of people hate this planet because of what we have done to it but I look at the beautiful side. There are fascinating land scapes throughout the whole world. Mountains, forests, rain forests, deserts, plains, valleys, volcanoes, oceans, islands, an so much more that we haven't touched. Then there are the beautiful structures that we have made. Now factories that cause pollution, yes that is sad but we need it to survive and support us with materials though. However humans were not the worst thing to happen. The Earth is glorious with it's nature and how our cities go with it. The Great Wall of china, Eiffel Tower, vineyards in Italy, the great pyramids, huge statues. temples, and shining cities.

[@nitish523]

we have an immune system for protecting our bodies from alien life forms and body requires germs to practice on, but the viruses are expert and form new mutations when a new vaccine is formed, and this is what happens when we badly mess up our immune system, coz our bodies natural defenses are weak, so we need ourselves to eat foods that are grown in the field and not in the lab, processed foods are dangerous to our health. According to Wikipedia, The human virome is a part of our bodies and will not always cause harm. Many latent and asymptomatic viruses are present in the human body all the time. Viruses infect all life forms; therefore the bacterial, plant, and animal cells and material in our gut also carry viruses.
