🌍 10 Crazy Things About the Earth You Didn’t Know 🌍 | Journey Into the Cosmos | Everything Science

Did you know Earth may have once had two moons, or that a day used to be just 18 hours long? If you think you know Earth, think again. In this episode of Journey Into the Cosmos, we dive into 10 mind-blowing facts about our planet that will challenge everything you thought you knew.

From Earth’s past as a purple planet to the fact that we’re all rocketing through space at 67,000 mph without even feeling it, these facts are sure to make you see your home in a whole new light. This video is perfect for anyone who’s curious about the deeper science behind the world we live in—and how it affects us every day.

Here’s what you’ll discover in this episode:

🌓 Earth Once Had Two Moons
Ever wonder what the sky would look like with two moons? Scientists believe Earth had a smaller second moon that eventually crashed into the larger one. This collision might explain why the Moon has some unusual features today!

🟣 Earth Was Once Purple
Yes, you read that right. Some scientists think Earth may have looked purple billions of years ago, thanks to early life using retinal instead of chlorophyll to process sunlight. Imagine a purple planet—that's wild!

🌍 Earth Isn’t a Perfect Sphere
Contrary to what you may have learned, Earth isn’t a perfect globe. It’s an “oblate spheroid,” meaning it's slightly flattened at the poles and bulging at the equator because of its rotation. It’s like Earth has a cosmic beer belly!

⏳ A Day on Earth Used to Be 18 Hours Long
Life on Earth used to move much faster—literally. Billions of years ago, a day lasted only 18 hours. The gravitational pull from the Moon has gradually slowed down Earth's rotation, and even today, our days are getting longer by 1.7 milliseconds every century.

🔥 Earth’s Core is as Hot as the Sun
Beneath your feet, Earth's inner core is nearly as hot as the surface of the Sun! That’s right—about 9,932°F (5,500°C). Next time summer heat gets you down, remember you’re standing on a mini-sun!

🌍 Pangaea: Earth’s Supercontinent
Once upon a time, all the continents were joined in a supercontinent called Pangaea. It started breaking up 175 million years ago, but in the distant future, it may come back together again to form a new supercontinent.

🌑 Earth Has Quasi-Satellites
Did you know that Earth has a sidekick? Known as quasi-satellites, these objects orbit the Sun but stay close to Earth, like cosmic wingmen. The most famous one is called 2016 HO3—it’s no Moon, but it’s always nearby.

🧲 Earth’s Magnetic Poles Are Shifting
Earth’s magnetic poles aren’t set in stone. The North Magnetic Pole is moving toward Siberia at about 40 miles per year. And over the course of Earth’s history, the poles have actually flipped many times!
