'''Earth''' is the third planet from the [[Sun]] and is the only body known to harbor life. Earth is one of the four 'rocky' planets the other three being [[Mercury]], [[Venus]], and [[Mars]]. The only natural satellite orbiting Earth is the [[Moon]].
 
  
The Earth is close to an oblate spheroid, but, in Orbiter it's modeled as a sphere.
 
 
==Earth in Orbiter==
 
The Earth is one of the original twelve bodies modeled in Orbiter beginning with Orbiter 2001. In 2001, the orbital characteristics were defined in the Earth.cfg file, but all versions after that, the orbit was defined in the Vsop87.dll file in the Modules folder. Physical, Rotation and precession, Atmospheric, Cloud, Visualisation parameters are defined in the Earth.cfg file.
 
 
Orbiter 2001 included only three surface bases, but Orbiter 2002 expanded the list to 35.
