Our reference world

Earth

Earth’s ocean covers about 71% of its surface. Liquid water, atmosphere, chemistry, and a long history together make it much more than a temperature reading.

Our simple model does not resolve weather, seasons, or regional temperatures.

Values rounded from NASA fact sheets and exoplanet catalog pages, checked September 17, 2026. Exoplanet values may be measured or inferred; uncertainties are omitted from this introductory comparison. Different stars mean distance alone does not determine climate.

A FACT TO TAKE
INTO YOUR DAY

On Venus, one rotation takes 243 Earth days—longer than its 225-day year.
