The Blue Marble / Terra - Planet Terra Nova (name of Earth on EarthMC); the only explored and confirmed planet (Moon is not a planet) in the Sol System.

Inhabited by around (9 May 2020) 200 364? people (players).

History

We don't know when the universe was created but first humans (players) appeared on Terra on October 19th, 2018 (IRL Calendar, In-Game Calendar - year 0)

Exploration

The first nation established on Terra Nova was Britain. Throughout all the generations of people, we have discovered every spot on the planet.

Dynmap

This invention is critical in the continued expansion of nations and human settlements. Dynmap also plays a huge role in monitoring conflicts - everyone has access to movements of other people on the surface (the only exception is invisibility potion utilization).

The Dynmap

One day, Fix, the god of EarthMC, created a map of the world, thus ushering in a new era of prospect.

Space Exploration

There were many space programs like the program "Kazakhstan" which first took photo o of Terra Nova from space but it wasn't colored. On the first of May 2020, the BSSA (Baltic States Space Agency) reports having launched a satellite to space and taken the first colored photo of Terra Nova - the same image shown in the infobox.

Although unconfirmed, a program under Kazakhstan is likely to have been capable of taking a colored photo; no image has been published yet.

Geography

There are seven continents on Terra: North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa, Australia and Antarctica (some people count Oceania instead of Australia)

How to calculate mass?

1 block of stone (the most common block throughout Terra Nova) has a mass around 1.8 metric tons. We count map as square 66000 blocks x 66 000 blocks.

66,000 x 66,000 = 4 356 000 000 blocks on surface.

4 356 000 000 x 1800 kilograms (1.8 tons) = 7 840 800 000 000

7 840 800 000 000 x 60 (depth of map) = 470 448 000 000 000 tons (all blocks, of course approximately)

Atmosphere

The atmosphere of Terra has 3 parts: troposphere, mesosphere and exosphere.

The troposphere has a pressure equal to 1 bar. It forms 0-256 block.

The termosphere has a pressure of around 0.5 bar and it's really hot. You can't place anything above 256 - everything melt. This sphere is often called "Build Limit". It forms 257-512 block

The exosphere is the hottest atmosphere zone. Here pressure starts from 0,5 bar and drops with height. It forms 513 to 700 block.

The exosphere is the last Terra's zone. Space begins here.

Geological Layers

Theory 1:

Three layers of bedrock, a nigh indestructible material can be found throughout the environments available to research. First and foremost is the layer at the base of Terra Nova's geological surface layer, but two more can be found at the nether's ceiling and bottom. Logically, these layers of bedrock could be attributed to one another, but numerous problems arise from this notion.

There is the problem with how matter is "restricted". While the surface is clearly restricted to a finite space always visible to the Dynmap, the nether has neither of these qualities.

Reports have also described the ability to "ascend" onto the nether's roof layer, which, assuming these reports are accurate, would make it impossible that the nether's roof layer was the same as Terra Nova's base layer of bedrock.

From these two criteria, some concepts have arisen.

1. The nether and Terra Nova surface (and rest of the planet as a whole) are fundamentally separate regions. The nether exists somewhere else entirely. Exotic ideas of its location can arise from this, including Sol and Luna.
2. The nether and Terra Nova surface are connected, but exist as two separate spheres, one contained within the other. A void occupies the space between the roof of the nether and the base of Terra Nova's surface. The only qualm with this concept is that a solution would need to be found as to why the nether seems nigh infinite, but surface finite.

Theory 2:

When you dig to bedrock, what is under it?

Well, core of the planet - Nether.

On top of the Nether, there is also bedrock.

But when you dig to bottom of the nether there is bedrock again.

That's because under Nether there is a bedrock core of our planet.

Luna (Moon)

There is a separate article about Luna

Luna (Moon) - the only natural satellite on Terra. Closest cosmic object to Earth; no physical contact has been achieved by humanity.

When we see it, we see a square, but it is probably not a square.

Illusion

We don't see the shape of Luna correctly because of the render distance on EarthMC. We just see the "top" - the closest surface of the Moon.

The best example is when you stand on a very tall tower and look down. You can see a small square - a piece of Terra. Same with Luna's top.
