Earth is a planet in the Sol system, commonly accepted to be the third planet from the star of the same name. The majority species is homo sapiens, known collectively as humanity, or human in singular. As of 2021, the planet is populated by approximate 7.8 billion humans, and has one natural satellite, Luna.
