The so-called gravitational equilibrium surface refers to the surface formed by the same point of gravity. On Earth, we call the gravitational equilibrium surface that coincides with the stationary ocean surface the "geodetic level", which is actually equivalent to what we often call sea level.

The universe is so big, but man's range is so small that the furthest man has been so far is the moon, which is only 380,000 km away from earth on average. Of course, humans have also launched all kinds of probes, and if you include them, the range of human activities is much larger.

It has been billions of years since life appeared on earth, and although there are seven planets in our solar system in addition to earth, as well as a number of dwarf planets, moons and other relatively large bodies, so far we have not found alien life on any other planet in our solar system for the time being. Even mars, another earth-like planet in the habitable zone of our solar system, has not found a single sign of life. Could it be that life on earth is really unique and no other planet is allowed to have life?

There are many rumors that Pluto is a terrible world, where the temperature is so low that no life can survive, and even if there is life, it may be some extreme virus, so how terrible and unusual is Pluto?

Although the Earth is just a "grain of dust suspended in the sun" in the universe, for us humans, this "grain of dust" is irreplaceable.

This exoplanet, known as TOI 700d, is about 101.5 light years away from our Earth, which means that even if we were to travel to this exoplanet in a light-speed spacecraft, it would take at least 101.5 years of flight to reach it, so it is very far away

According to our knowledge of known life, liquid water is essential for life. In other words, if there is liquid water on a planet, there is a possibility of life, and it is for this reason that scientists always consider liquid water as the first requirement when assessing the possibility of life on a planet.

Intelligent life is rare in the universe, or perhaps it is just wishful thinking on our part. As mentioned earlier, just in the galaxy, there are hundreds of millions of planets that have the natural conditions to nurture life, so a reasonable speculation is that life has evolved on many planets, and even a number of planets have evolved intelligent life.
