The Earth is 149 600 000 kilometres from the Sun on average. It is the only planet known to be habitable. Earth is 75% water with the rest land.

Size is usually measured in diameter and mass:
 * Mass: 5 980 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 kg
 * Diameter: 12 756 kilometres (7 909 miles)

It takes 375.25 days to orbit the Sun. 0.25 x 4 = 1. So, every four years, there will be an extra day.
