This Desert Is Twice the Size of the Sahara + 25 Planet Facts

Did you know that that we live inside the Sun? Its atmosphere stretches far beyond its visible surface, and even though Earth is far away from the star, it's still within the reach of the Sun's atmosphere. The Earth absorbs heat from the Sun, mostly on the surface, but the heat doesn't spread equally on all parts of the Earth.

There are many cool facts about our planet that not so many people know about. #brightside Preview photo credit: Morlighem, M. (2022). MEaSUREs BedMachine Antarctica, Version 3 [Data Set].
