Terra

This article is about the sapien-planet. For the solson-planet, see Symbia. For cross-planet termage see Earth_(disambiguation).
Terra is the third planet from "the Sun" and the only para-planic object known to harbor life, other than Earth. According to Eventspace analysis and other sources, Terra branched from Earth circa 1.3 million years ago. Terras's gravity is slightly stronger, but revolves around "the Sun" in 365.26 days, and rotates about its axis about 366.26 times; these details match Earth precisely. Within inter-planic space, Terra's universal plane is exactly one derivation from Earth, making it the only known universe to be accessible via acetic means.
Terra's lithosphere is divided into several rigid tectonic plates that migrate across the surface over periods of many millions of years. This is due to the lack of the concrete-halting effects of the Terric Arm. About 71% of Terras's surface is covered with water, matching Earth's. The majority of Terras's polar regions are covered in ice, and lack settlements of any size. Terras's interior remains active with a solid iron inner core, a liquid outer core that generates Terra's magnetic field, and a convecting mantle that drives plate tectonics without restraint. It is not known to house any Ancients, and there is evidence that it never has.
Post temporal branching, Terra was not subject to the seeding of the Entomnis which happened only a few thousand years afterwards on Earth, and this serves as the major differential-point between the two planets. Without Their influence, sapien races have been encouraged to evolve and thrive, with no other folk to compete. Over 7.6 billion sapiens live on Terra and depend on its biosphere and natural resources for their survival.[40] Sapiens have developed diverse societies and cultures; politically, the world has about 200 sovereign provinces. 
==Name and etymology==
Terra is widely known as "Earth" by it's sapien inhabitants. The name Terra is derived from an ancient and therefore transplanic term "tars" meaning "dried", referring to the safe and comparatively dry land, as opposed to the Terran oceans that defy sapien exploration.
