Did you know that every 100 years, Earth’s orbit spins approximately 2 milliseconds slower? Did you also know that the Earth’s magnetic poles are moving? Earth is an incredible planet with many facts such as these. For example, did you know that Earth is not perfectly round? Due to its constant spinning, the Earth is slightly “football shaped”. Here’s another fact for you: planet Earth remains mostly unexplored. 71% of Earth’s surface is water yet we’ve only explored about 5 to 10% of our oceans. Learn more about these and other Earth facts in today’s list. These are 25 shocking facts you never knew about Earth.

I was not shocked, and knew some of these already.
sherry lee well your not normal then
Yo YOU try to find 25 facts aboit a shit load of topics and put together videos for them weekly.. C'mon
Earth? Come now, I'm ready for my new home on Mars.
Darkness Prevails Seeing you around a lot of places I go. You stalking me bro? *:-)*
Mmmmmm...Mars Bars. ~Mike
Darkness Prevails Girls are from Mars where they get more candy bars, boys are from Jupiter where they get more stupider. Just a childhood saying I just remembered, not to be taken seriously.
Get ready for total recall baby
Darkness Prevails im with you for Mars!! Haha let's gooo!....
Great facts
They don’t use talc in baby powder anymore since people are concerned about a cancer risk and the fact it’s not good for infants to inhale. Albeit, talc is in most cosmetics but not the unrefined type. The unrefined talc has naturally occurring asbestos. There aren’t enough studies that conclusively confirm a cancer risk for refined talk.
So very very glad to have you back guys!
😁👍
Us too!
Curious facts - nice info! :)
the technical term for moons is 'satellite'. but we dont call it a satellite, we call it our Moon. so, in a way, we DID name it :)
i would prefer luna
Yep!
It's scientific name is Luna (which is Moon in Latin). Everything else that is colloquially called "moon" in our Solar System is actually a satellite.
Much like the name Kleenex has become synonymous with facial tissues, any reasonably sized object orbiting a planet is referred to in the context of our own satellite, the Moon. Happens all the time.
(Attention flatearthers: Just to be clear, NO, the Moon is NOT made of Kleenex!)
Wonderful Mike !!! 😍
Going back to the old format? No puns?
C'mon... Bring em back.
Not permanently, no. We are doing some behind the scenes stuff. I'll be back on camera soon! :D ~Mike
LOVE your videos and the work you put into them. I am a former science teacher and wanted to point out....our moon does have a name, it's Moon. It's the proper name of it. All bodies orbiting around a planet are called natural satellites and each of them in our solar system have been given names, like Jupiter's Io, Ganymede, Europa, to name a few. Ours is called Moon. Asking, what are the names of Jupiter's moons is an improper statement. It's like your sister's name is Karen so you ask every one else what their Karen's name is instead of what their sister's name is. The proper question is "What are the names of Jupiter's satellites?" and the proper name of our satellite is Moon. :)
Right, moon is an American English translation.
Teresa, I never thought of it like that, but I like it!
Our satellite is not called the Moon, that's the name given to any rock that orbits a Planet. Our Moons proper name is 'Luna', btw our Planet's name is not Earth, that's the brown stuff you grow plants in, our Planets name is 'Terra', hence Terrestrial - of Terra, Terraforming - Changing a Planet to look like Terra
You are quite right, especially in light of the fact we have just "discovered" 65 more "moons" around Saturn! Our Hubble telescope is outstanding, but the James Webb telescope is going to find many more amazing things in our universe, and we've just learned ours is not the only "universe" so that word may have to change also, universe, galaxy, -- well, so far...! If there were some way to find out, we probably know only a minute amount about the skies above us! So much more to learn!
#1 was the coolest!! Thanks Mike!!
The heavy brick like *Ubiquitous Fruitcake* makes an excellent door stop. It's also the perfect thing to give to someone you dislike when gifting is a necessary evil.
"What most people dont know is that earth is one of the four rocky planets"
Very informative
Hello from California. I really like your videos. I’m always looking for any new content you upload.
So there is probably a deeper trench in the ocean , because we’ve only explored 10% of less of the ocean
hmmmmm - Juan
I believe we've already mapped out the oceans bottom using satellites which is why you can see it on Google maps
Their will be a time when tourist will be able to take a trip down to the deepest part of the ocean..
Your use of the word "probably" is unjustified.
There is zero evidence either way. The best you can get is a 50/50 chance. So, "probably" is a bit too optimistic.
Just because the unexplored area is big, doesn't mean anything at all.
@@robertcartier5088 the US Navy has mapped out almost the entire see floor of our planet using subs.
So we're made of the same stuff as stars? It's quite poetic.
Norma yes We r stardust
Gotta love the periodic table of elements!
Forged in the crucibles of dying stars, that, upon death, exploded their enriched guts across the galaxy, to collapse again into other stars and into planets, and us. Gotta love Neil...
Norma we're all star children ☆☆☆ ♡♡
First Last
RUSH?
3:45 "Marianas Trench is 7 miles below the SEAFLOOR" ??? You meant sea level not below the seafloor.
Also everyone (even CZcams presenters) already know that the moon affects our tides
#6 Seriously? Fruitcake?
Yup! ~Mike
Fruitcake gets such a bad rap. I love fruitcake that’s done right
😂Dense AF
Great List !
I like #5
Relax people !
I don't know what's happened to education but I learned almost all of these in grade school.
Earth's moon does have a name besides Moon. It's name is Luna. It is feminine. Sol, the Sun is masculine. Both names are Latin
Those names do translate to Moon and Sun in English.
hello from Arkansas! I really like that picture that you guys chose for your number one 😊
Everyone keeps saying that the sea levels will rise some 200+ feet when the ice melts. Do me a favor, make a glass of ice water and when the ice melts let me know how much water spills out of the cup. It’s simple physics. If the sea level does rise it’ll be maybe a few feet. But 200 feet is a stretch. Don’t forget that ice has a lot of air trapped in it as well
the sun also controls tides . i just learned that yesterday just saying
The tide detergent logo is the sun! It's all been a conspiracy this whole time!
The moon, according to my understanding is thought to have formed from the debris after a huge meteor collided and combined into what is now earth. This collision is also what is thought to have caused the off axis rotation of earth that allows a climate with minimal extremes and seasons. Seeing as all mass in space creates gravity, much of the dust and debris in the newly created planet's atmosphere combined to make earth's moon.
probably your guy's best all time video
After you mentioned the 2 milliseconds reduce per century I was hoping also a mention of the precession of the equinoxes. I like that.
My father a Mechanical engineer said, if the earth were shrunk down to the size of a ball bearing, the earth would be smoother than a ball bearing.
The earth isn’t flat
That is correct. ~Mike
Yes it is
The moon is flat. I saw it pressed up against the car window
"Just throw the gravity out of the window"
Actually the earth is flat, not a sphere
#8 Mike, you live in one of the best states to duplicate "singing" sand. Go to the beach and slide your bare foot along the surface of the sand. Snow white sand is the best for this.
It might take a few attempts, but you will perfect the speed and pressure and will hear what sounds like how shoes squealed in the hallway back in school.
Matter of fact, try that exact thing with bare feet on a beach.
Avoid Ft. Walton beach though. BAD jellyfish swarm as a child and I'm angry at that stretch of Earth to this day. lol
When people say that only 10 percent of oceans have been explored, they are referring to actual scientists who have been there and explored the area, however through stuff like satelites we know more about the ocean than we think, and given that most of the ocean is just deep empty water, the rest wont be that different from the parts we know of.
Neat!
Love this channel 💯👍👍👍
You rock!
@@list25 so do you guys happy Christmas guys 🎅 🎄
I'm Jewish so....LoL
@@list25 happy honica then my friend. Did i spell that right? I celebrate Christmas because I'm thought to since I was a kid. Personally I think it's just a money scheme (great scheme btw) that makes people worry about buying material things. I believe we came from the stars but what do I know. If this is you Mike love this channel buddy and how's your dog? 👍
@@list25 no seriously did I spell honica right? I have Jewish friends please don't make me text them and make me look dumb when you guys are making me smart 🧠 👍😉🤣🤣🤣
The sand dunes sing because their shape, size and spacing amplify (and distorts) the sound of the vibrations caused by the sand moving around due to wind and gravity.
Interesting video thanks, I don't want to know why though. I want to know where are those singing monk areas? Those would be pretty cool to visit thanks...
If you graduated high school in the 1980s then you already learned all these even if you have forgotten the names of rivers, mountains, etc.
I like these videos about earth and we have a solar eclipse every now&then
I watch your channel a lot and I'm absolutely amazed that you didn't know our Moon's name is Luna.
wait a minute I thought Luna was the name for the moon.
And I also thought that technically we live on "Terra" not earth.
Luna is Latin for moon. Our moon's name is Moon. He is incorrect in saying it doesn't have a proper name. All planets that have bodies orbiting them, those bodies are called satellites. We have named all the satellites and Earth's is called Moon, as a proper noun, like I am a human and am called Teresa. :)
Terra is Latin for Earth.
Since the word for sun is sol, Earth is called by 3 names - "Earth" "Terra" and "Sol 3."
The only thing flat-earthers fear, is sphere itself...
For some reason ,you have a nice voice .. I like listening to it
I knew a lot of theses and some are incorrect, the moon controls the tide, but the sun also has effect on the tide
sam treacy It may be neutralized by Earth's rotation.
just blame it on Gravitation. Its gravitys fault everytime.
Thank you, I was looking foursome to correct his tide fact. So he should do better research. Not subbing
Like the new video layout
Earth is the only planet with Life.
Earth is also the only planet with Death.
I sometimes finf inconsistancy, as with any program, but your program is very well made and entertaining and I enjoy it even when i must correct details in the comments......great job guys
Btw.. The M . Trench is 7 miles deep, below the oceans surface, not the seafloor, i will be sailing over it in 24 months
Damn 30 lighting bolts in a min🤔that's one heck of a show🙄
Mercury is the most dense. Earth is the most massive of the inner four. That's why it has highest gravity.
Our moon in fact does have an official name.
Luna.
We even use variants of it's name to improperly describe an individual's actions.
Lunatic: Someone who is driven mad by the moon.
Lunacy: The state of being a lunatic.
A small percentage of humans and nearly all great apes don't realize that Earth is actually not flat.
I know a lot of these facts😊 but I love teaching myself and I loved your channel I would love to hear about how everyday things that have Ben around longer than people think for example toilet paper
hi Mike thanks for all the great videos could you do a video on the countries with the worst prisons and the worst countries around the world for violence Against Humanity. I will be keeping an eye out for these videos thank you.
I couldn't do it without my team. Really I'm a small part of List25. I just present everything to you all. We have an amazing team of writers and editors (list25.com/about) that do all the work work.
As for the suggestions, I will pitch them to the team right now! ~Mike
Edit: We do have these already:

1.Hell is in the center of the earth
Told my brother & step dad that the earth isn't perfectly round & even explained why but they didn't believe me.
I actually knew all these facts. Still a great list though.
I love the humor in this video....
3 people have been down the Mariana Trench that have come out alive that we know of.
How many people have died trying to go all the way down. All these facts create questions.
List of 25 people who have died trying new foods or going new places
Not permanently frozen temporarily frozen because it will all eventually melt.
Wow...it's early.
Not a bad list, although it troubles me that there might be some viewers who didn't know that the moon controls the tides. On another note, the International Astronomical Union has officially designated the name of our moon as "Moon." Yes, it's like giving your dog the name "Dog," but that doesn't make the dog's name any less legitimate, official, or (I suppose) legal.
Now, for a follow-up list of facts about the Earth (note that we stand on earth, which in its aggregate is called "Earth"). First, we have explored the interior of the Earth only to a tiny distance downward relative to the distance to the core. Second, the core is a big, metal, spinning dynamo. Third, there seems to be a subsurface ocean far below the mantle that has more water than the visible oceans. Fourth, the plate boundaries down in the ocean constantly ooze material from deeper in the Earth, and this is the driving force that pushes the tectonic plates around. There are plenty more, but you get the idea: lots of videos about the Earth for List 25 to produce with the ever-popular Mike at the helm.
I knew almost everything on this list. Some of it used to be common knowledge but you have people now who think the civil war was in the 1960s
The singing desert was proven to be the specific sands particles resonate frequency.
Actually the big island of Hawaii is actually the tallest mountain on Earth. The big island that we see is the top of this mountain.
For some reason it bums me out that the 5,000 year old tree doesn't have a name.
There is a mountain in Hawaii that is technically taller than Everest.
You need to update that frozen freshwater precentage unfortunately its much less now.
Mike, if you get one for Christmas, send it to me. :) ;) Lol
Wait did they say people have been to the bottom or the mariana trench!? Anddd they DIDNT bring any megladons back up with them!? I was LIED TO!
Was that flashing supposed to happen at number 21?
True fact, Mercury is more dense than Earth
I can’t stop laughing about the fact that earth is “squished”.
But maps of Antarctica without ice, around 516 AD, what was Earth like BEFORE it froze over?
Pause after 16 really quick just to state that the earth would technically still have tides even with the moon gone. The needed gravitational effect would be supplied by the sun instead, and would be much smaller then what the moon exerts on us.
Is it weird i already knew most of these facts already?
that old Brislecone was cut down and burned by vandals. Mathusala
I hate it when my farts don't stink
lamontisabigdummy K
actually the earth is NOT football shaped. Closer to shaped like a basketball with someone sitting on it. The ends (poles) don't poke out, they are squished in.
The earth isn't rugby / American football shaped, it is more akin to the shape of an orange.
One interesting fact , is that the gravitational force of the earth is not constant. It varies slightly depending on where you are. The further you are from its center, the less gravity there is, so if you are looking to lose a little weight, travel to the equator. I guarantee you will weigh at least one millionth of a pound less than you do now, but you better have a good set of scales first! 😆
Mary. We should call the moon, Mary. I'm going to.
Need to correct you, According to Neil Degrasse Tyson earth is an oblong shape (like an egg or football) due to the moon and sun's gravity pulling onto earth. Not because of the rotational spin of the earth like you mentioned.
FYI, its because of the moon and sun's gravity is the reason or cause of the earth spinning slowing down.
The Earth slows down by how much? The moon is drifting away from us at 2 inches per year.
There wasn't a single fact that I didn't know.
Largest earthquake ever recorded meaning by machines? There was one in New Madrid, Missouri that was over 12 but it was in the early 1800's
The moon does have a name, it's called "Luna" just to point that out for anybody who may not know.
Since it's formation the earth has only traveled about 450000 light years. That is nothing compared to the vast distances out in space.
I'm glad you're getting a little brighter, it's seems to be a bit on the darker side lately
Number 20, of course Mt. Everest isn't the highest place on earth, it's actually at Snoop Dogg's house.
Does he live next to Tommy Chong's place?
Dave's not here, man!
The Marijuana Trench is 7 miles high...
Is it something weird that that i knew every on of them?
Edit I only knew like half of them
Actually Mike, the moon appeared in our skies much earlier than that.
The moon composition is different than earth. Therefore it was never a piece of earth.
Like your videos, but 2 things. 1) I prefer (and think most do) the ones where you're onscreen narrating. 2) I am not a fan of the text being onscreen as you read it but if you insist on doing so, a) please spell correctly, as it's distracting, and b) please keep the text onscreen until the narrator is finished reading.
never too ... older
to learn wow:-)
Regarding nr. 24: Just an FYI: 600 million years ago a day was about 22 hours.
So it will take another 2 BILLION years to get to a 30-hour day :) .
I think you simplified the origin story of the Moon a lot in this video... The idea is that another planet collided with the Earth an insane amount of time ago and the parts that didn't merge with the Earth flew into space/formed a ring around the Earth like Saturn which was made up of plenty of rocks which, over time, merged and became the Moon... That's the theory I've heard, but most involve a planet hitting the Earth generally...
I think we should give our moon a name
Gary.
Like your videos, but I already knew 85% of this one.
I MD the weather is never constant it could 80 degrees one day then 30 degrees the next day.
That’s something that I wanna ask the flat earthers! What about the meteors and meteorite’s???
Forgot the telometosphere
