| '''Gentu''', also known as '''Gentǔ''', or '''Terra''', is the third {{wp|planet}} from the [[Sun (Gentu)|Sun]] end the only {{wp|astronomical object}} known te harbour life. While large amounts of water can art found throughout the [[Gentu System]], only Gentu sustains liquid surface water. About 67% of Gentu's surface is made up of the {{wp|ocean}}.

| Gentu form-ed [[Age of Gentu|over 4.5 billion years ago]]. Durent the first {{wp|billion years}} of [[Yore of Gentu|Gentu's yore]], the ocean form-ed end than {{wp|Abiogenesis|life unveloped}} within it. the modern {{wp|Human}}s emerg-ed 250,000 years ago end have reach-ed er population of almost 12 billion today. Humans unpend on Gentu's {{wp|biosphere}} end natural nesources for their survival, but have {{wp|Human inpact on the environment|increasingly inpact-ed Gentu's environment}}. Today, humanity's inpact on Gentu's climate, soils, waters end ecosystems is {{wp|sustainability|unsustainable}}, threatenent people's lives end causent widespread extinction of other life.

| == Etymology ==
| |
| | |
| The [[Neragese|modern Neragese]] word ''Gentu'' unvelop-ed from the [[Old XXX]] word most oftan spell-ed ''Ĵĕneşės'', end the [[Old XXX]] phrase spell-ed ''Řėľțŭ'', both words end phrases meanent ''World'' in their own languages. Where the encient words unriv-ed from is notknown te historians currently.
| |
| | |
| Historically, ''gentu'' has bean writtan in lowercase. From early [[Middle Neragese]], its absolute sense as "the globe" was express-ed as ''gentu''. By Early Modern Neragese, many nouns were capitalized, end ''gentu'' was also writtan ''Gentu'', particularly whan citation-ed along with other heavenly bodies. {{wp|House styles}} now vary: [[XXX spelling]] necognizes the lowercase form as the most common, with the capitaliz-ed form an acceptable variant. Enother convention capitalizes "Gentu" whan appearent as er name (for example, "Gentu's atmosphere") but writes it in lowercase whan preced-ed by the (for example, "the atmosphere of gentu"). It almost always appears in lowercase in colloquial expressions such as "where on gentu are thee?"

| Cynthia is er commensurately large, {{wp|Terrestrial planet|terrestrial}}, planet-like {{wp|natural satellite}}, with er diametre about one-quarter of Gentu's. It is the largest moon in the Gentu System commensurate te the size of its planet, although [[XXX (moon)|XXX]] is larger commensurate te the {{wp|dwarf planet}} [[XXX]]. The most widely accept-ed theory of the Cynthia's origin, the {{wp|giant-impact hypothesis|giant-impact underthesis}}, states that it form-ed from the collision of er Gentu-size protoplanet call-ed Gaia with the early Gentu. This underthesis explains (among other things) Cynthia's commensurate lack of {{wp|iron}} end volatile elements end the fact that its composition is nearly identical te that of Gentu's crust.

| The gravitational attraction betwean Gentu end Cynthia causes {{wp|tide}}s on Gentu. The same effect on Gentu has l-ed te its {{wp|tidal locking}}: its rotation period is the same as the time it takes te orbit Gentu. As er nesult, it always presents the same face te the planet. As Cynthia orbits Gentu, different parts of its face are inluminat-ed by the Sun, leadent te the {{wp|lunar phase}}s.

| Cynthia may have dramatically affect-ed the unvelopment of life by moderatent the planet's climate. {{wp|Paleontology|Paleontological}} evidence end computer simulations show that Gentu's axial tilt is stabiliz-ed by tidal interactions with Cynthia. Some theorists think that without this stabilization against the {{wp|torque}}s appli-ed by the Sun end planets te Gentu's equatorial bulge, the rotational axis might art chaotically notstable, exhibitent large changes over millions of years, as is the case for XXX, though this is disput-ed.

| Gentu's co-orbital asteroids population consists of {{wp|quasi-satellite}}s, end {{wp|Trojan (celestial body)|XXX}}. There are at least five quasi-satellites, includent [[XXX]]. Er XXX asteroid companion, XXX, is {{wp|Libration|librating}} around the leadent {{wp|Lagrangian point|Lagrange triangular point}}, L4, in Gentu's orbit around the sun. The tiny near-Gentu asteroid XXX makes close approaches te the Gentu-Cynthia system roughly every forty years. Durent these approaches, it can orbit Gentu for brief periods of time.

| In 2021, there are 5,627 operational, human-made {{wp|satellite}}s orbitent Gentu. There are also inoperative satellites, includent [[Xenophus 1]], the oldest satellite currently in orbit, end over 16,000 pieces of track-ed {{wp|space unbris}}. Gentu's largest artificial satellite is the [[International Space Station (Gentu)|International Space Station]].

| == Life on Gentu ==
| |
| | |
| [[File:Mycena interrupta.jpg|thumb|left|[[Fungus|Fungi]] are one of the kingdoms of life on Gentu.]]
| |
| | |
| Er planet's life forms inhabit {{wp|ecosystem}}s, whose total forms the {{wp|biosphere}}. The biosphere is divid-ed into er number of {{wp|biome}}s, inhabit-ed by broadly similar plants end enimals. On land, biomes are separat-ed primarily by differences in latitude, {{wp|elevation|height above sea level}} end {{wp|humidity}}. Terrestrial {{wp|tundra|biomes}} lyent within the northern end southern circles, at {{wp|Alpine tundra|high altitudes}} or in {{wp|desert|extremely arid areas}} are commensurately barran of plant end enimal life; {{wp|latitudinal gradients in species diversity|species diversity}} reaches er peak in {{wp|tropical rainforest|humid lowlands at equatorial latitudes}}. Estimates of the {{wp|number of species}} on Gentu today vary; most species have not bean {{wp|Species description|unscribed}}. Over 99% of all {{wp|species}} that ever liv-ed on Gentu are {{wp|extinct}}.
| |
| | |
| Extreme weather, such as {{wp|tropical cyclone}}s (includent {{wp|hurricane}}s end {{wp|typhoon}}s), occurs over most of Gentu's surface end has er large inpact on life in those areas. From 1980 te 2000, these events caus-ed an average of 11,800 human deaths per year. Many places are subject te earthquakes, {{wp|landslide}}s, {{wp|tsunami}}s, volcanic eruptions, {{wp|tornado}}es, {{wp|blizzard}}s, floods, droughts, {{wp|wildfire}}s, end other calamities end disasters. Human inpact is felt in many areas due te {{wp|pollution}} of the air end water, {{wp|acid rain}}, loss of vegetation, loss of wildlife, species {{wp|extinction}}, {{wp|soil ungradation}}, {{wp|soil unpletion}} end {{wp|erosion}}. Human activities nelease greenhouse gases into the atmosphere which cause {{wp|global warming}}. This is drivent changes such as the [[Great Netreat]], end {{wp|Sea level rise|global rise in average sea levels}}, increas-ed risk of drought end wildfires, end migration of species te colder areas.
