    Earth is the third planet from the Sun and the only place known to support life. It formed over 4.5 billion years ago and orbits the Sun every 365.256 days while rotating 366.256 times on its tilted axis, which causes seasons. Earth's gravity interacts with the Moon, stabilizing its axis and slowing its rotation over time, while the Moon's gravity also causes tides. At the densest planet in the Solar System, Earth is the largest and most massive of the four inner, rocky planets.

    Earth is the third planet from the Sun and the only astronomical object known to

    harbor life. According to radiometric dating estimation and other evidence, Earth


    formed over 4.5 billion years ago. Earth's gravity interacts with other objects in
    space, especially the Sun and the Moon, which is Earth's only natural satellite.
    Earth orbits around the Sun in 365.256 solar days, a period known as an
    Earth sidereal year. During this time, Earth rotates about its axis 366.256 times,
    that is, a sidereal year has 366.256 sidereal days.[n 6]
    Earth's axis of rotation is tilted with respect to its orbital plane,
    producing seasons on Earth. The gravitational interaction between Earth and the
    Moon causes tides, stabilizes Earth's orientation on its axis, and gradually slows its
    rotation. Earth is the densest planet in the Solar System and the largest and most
    massive of the four rocky planets.
