The Earth is the densest major body in the solar system.

The Earth is divided into several layers which have distinct chemical and seismic properties (depths in km):

0-40 Crust40-400 Upper mantle400-650 Transition region650-2700 Lower mantle2700-2890 D'' layer2890-5150 Outer core5150-6378 Inner core

Earth has only one natural satellite, the Moon ~ also known as Luna.

It is the second brightest object in the sky after the Sun.
