Semi-protected edit request on 16 February 2024[edit]

Ok I want to change a mistake I saw about it saying that earth is the only planter with water on it because clearly it's not. 24.101.87.161 (talk) 21:45, 16 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The lead section says that it is the only astronomical object in the solar system to have "liquid surface water". Mikenorton (talk) 22:12, 16 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Edit: Change "This process maintains the current average surface temperature of 14.76°C" from 14.76°C to 15°C[1].

This temperature seems outdated, and I couldn't find a source for it. As well, it is inconsistent with other articles, ex. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Global_surface_temperature. 207.195.72.119 (talk) 17:37, 29 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

 Not done for now: The source for this number is this article. --TheImaCow (talk) 13:30, 3 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

density of the Earth[edit]

If the mass of the Earth is given in kg, then the density should be in kg/m3. Mir.Nalezinski (talk) 17:02, 13 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

 Done Thanks for pointing that out! ✨ΩmegaMantis✨blather 18:42, 13 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I will point out that the density of astronomical objects is largely given in g/cm³ and not kg/m³ by astronomers. However, Earth is of course the one astronomical object which is of interest to many fields beyond astronomy, so whether or not an exception can/should be made for units here can be argued either way. ArkHyena (talk) 22:23, 13 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Good point. The source in the stat did use kg/m^3 though. ✨ΩmegaMantis✨blather 00:05, 14 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I heard that a sidereal day instead of being 23 hours 56 minutes and 4.1 seconds it's 23 hours 56 minutes and 4.09053 seconds (small change i know but will help most people getting information from wikipedia) Ertgiuhnoyo (talk) 18:21, 20 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

 Already done This is covered in the rotation section. Jamedeus (talk) 18:47, 20 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Please a) link 'aluminium' to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aluminium and b) edit text from containing 'aluminum' [sic!] to 'aluminium' 98.128.249.183 (talk) 12:31, 2 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I suggest adding a wiki hyperlink to the notion "tidal interaction" in the subsection "Earth–Moon system". There is a wiki page about this phenomenon: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tidal_force

Sorry this is my first time doing this kind of request. So, if I did something wrong, I'm sorry and please tell how I can do this better if you can. Have a nice day to you all :) Filuo (talk) 15:25, 2 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Filuo  Done Thanks for proposing the change and happy editing! 🇺🇲JayCubby✡ please edit my user page! Talk 14:49, 8 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
