Answer:
1) Three features that make planet Earth unique are:
The only planet with living creatures.
The only planet that has water in a liquid state, on its surface,
And third, the moon which is earth's closest celestial body supports life on earth.
Explanation:
On no other planet is there any trace of life of any form or state.
And there is also no trace of water on any other planet except earth, in fact the planet earth; the blue planet, is made up of seventy one percent water.
The moon helps in stabilizing earth's rotation, and preventing any untoward rash movement of the poles, which can cause major changes in climate; this stabilizing factor therefore actually enables life on earth.
2) Africa is the second largest continent after Asia. The Equator or 00 latitude runs almost through the middle of the continent. A large part of Africa lies in the Northern Hemisphere. It is the only continent through which the Tropic of Cancer, the Equator and the Tropic of Capricorn pass.
4) Australia
At about 3 million square miles (7.7 million square km), Australia is the smallest continent on Earth. In fact, it's closer in size to Greenland than it is to South America.

- Echidna. Echidna are spiny anteaters and one of the egg-laying mammals and one of the rarest animals in the world. ...

5) The Pacific Ocean is the largest and deepest of Earth's oceanic divisions. It extends from the Arctic Ocean in the north to the Southern Ocean (or, depending on definition, to Antarctica) in the south and is bounded by the continents of Asia and Australia in the west and the Americas in the east.

Water volume: 710,000,000 km3 (170,000,000 ...
4) Located mostly in the Arctic north polar region in the middle of the Northern Hemisphere, besides its surrounding waters the Arctic Ocean is surrounded by Eurasia and North America. It is partly covered by sea ice throughout the year and almost completely in winter.
2) A continent is one of several very large landmasses. Generally identified by convention rather than any strict criteria, up to seven regions are commonly regarded as continents. Ordered from largest in area to smallest, these seven regions are: Asia, Africa, North America, South America, Antarctica, Europe, and Australia. Variations with fewer continents may merge some of these, for example some systems include Eurasia or America as single continents.
Geologically, the continents correspond to areas of continental crust that are found on the continental plates, but include continental fragments such as Madagascar that are not commonly referred to as continents. Some geological continents are largely covered with water, such as Zealandia (see submerged continents below). Continental crust is only known to exist on Earth.
Oceanic islands are frequently grouped with a neighbouring continent to divide all the world's land into regions. Under this scheme, most of the island countries and territories in the Pacific Ocean are grouped together with the continent of Australia to form a region called Oceania.

3) Antarctica, the large land mass in the Southern Hemisphere, is the coldest place on Earth. In the Northern Hemisphere, the coldest places tend to be located on land masses farther away from the North Pole because the Arctic Ocean has a warming influence on the region.
5) The Atlantic basin is the second largest basin, followed by the Indian Ocean basin, the Southern Ocean, and finally the Arctic Ocean basin.
Long answer questions.
1) The earth is called a unique planet because: It is the only planet which has favorable conditions that support life. It is neither too hot nor too cold. ... The air has life-supporting gases like oxygen.
3) In East Antarctica, the ice sheet is thicker and rests on bedrock that is above sea level in most places, whereas in the west the ice is not as thick and much of the underlying bedrock is below sea level. In addition to being the highest continent, Antarctica is also distinctive for being the coldest and the driest.
