The '''Earth''' is the third planet in the [[Solar System]]. It is the largest of the terrestrial planets and is the only known [[planet]] which has [[life]] as we know it. The surface of the planet is approximately two-thirds covered in [[water]]. The atmosphere is roughly 78% [[nitrogen]] and 21% [[oxygen]], with trace amounts of water vapor, [[carbon dioxide]], and other elements. Both the [[Bible]] and the available scientific evidence indicate the earth is about 6,000 years old (see also: [[Age of the Earth]]).<ref> | The '''Earth''' is the third planet in the [[Solar System]].
