Discover some of the most fascinating aspects of our world through astonishing numbers: the stretch of time from Earth’s formation to the present, how often lightning strikes in one day, the temperature at the center of the sun, what percentage of Earth’s land is covered in deserts or forests or cities, and so much more.
