Apparently:

Earth, also called the world and, less frequently, Gaia (and Terra in some works of science fiction) is the third planet from the Sun, the densest planet in the Solar System, the largest of the Solar System’s four terrestrial planets, and the only astronomical object known to accommodate life. The earliest life on Earth arose at least 3.5 billion years ago. Earth’s biodiversity has expanded continually except when interrupted by mass extinctions. Although scholars estimate that over 99 percent of all species, amounting to over five billion species, that ever lived on the planet are extinct, Earth is currently home to 10–14 million species of life, of which about 1.2 million have been documented and over 86 percent have not yet been described. Over 7.3 billion humans depend upon its biosphere and minerals. Earth’s human population is divided among about two hundred sovereign states which interact through diplomacy, conflict, travel, trade and communication media.

If you want a fun diversion, Wikipedia has an article on the Earth written in a Scottish accent. https://sco.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yird

Hi Nick:

Sorry, this is out of the subject. Feel free to delete it after reading. I coudnt find a way to send a private message.

Thank you a lot for the code in http://www.gammon.com.au/power#top.
I am using the the getBandgap () code.
By the way a think that function should be called getVCC () and also was much easy to use in mV.

Adios from Buenos Aires.

Glad it was helpful. I don't allow private messages these days because most of the posts on this forum are by spammers and not people genuinely interested in MUD games. :(

However your remarks are noted. I'll delete this post one day.
