Geocache Description:

We adopted these from BLIG some time back. The Descriptions remain much as he wrote them, with some minor edits and updated information. D/T ratings have not changed, to be fair to earlier Finders, although some of these are much easier than they were. On the logsheet is a number, which is needed to find the Solar System Tour mystery cache.

Earth

Earth is the only planet whose English name does not derive from Greek/Roman mythology. In Roman Mythology, the goddess of the Earth was Tellus - the fertile soil (Greek: Gaia, terra mater - Mother Earth).  

 

 

Orbit:    149,600,000 km (1.00 AU) from Sun
Diameter: 12,103.6 km
Mass:     5.972e24 kg

Earth is the third planet from the Sun and the fifth largest, Earth has only one natural satellite, the Moon.

 
You are looking for a small, round, black metal container. As always, use caution when reaching in places where you can't see.
