"solar system"

In our universe, whether as large as a galaxy or as small as an electron, we are always in motion, and even when we think we are sitting motionless in our chairs, the earth is carrying us around the sun at a speed of about 30 kilometres per second, and the sun is also in motion, in fact it is carrying the entire solar system around the centre of the milky way, and at a speed of about 220 kilometres per second.

How exactly did such a complex life emerge on Earth? This is a great mystery to modern humans, but we are almost certain that the "birth of life" is a process that has a very small probability of occurring.

The so-called gravitational equilibrium surface refers to the surface formed by the same point of gravity. On Earth, we call the gravitational equilibrium surface that coincides with the stationary ocean surface the "geodetic level", which is actually equivalent to what we often call sea level.

Although the Earth is just a "grain of dust suspended in the sun" in the universe, for us humans, this "grain of dust" is irreplaceable.

According to our knowledge of known life, liquid water is essential for life. In other words, if there is liquid water on a planet, there is a possibility of life, and it is for this reason that scientists always consider liquid water as the first requirement when assessing the possibility of life on a planet.
