Scientists from NASA and around the world have now discovered more than 1,800 planets beyond our solar system. But so far, we haven't found any that match the complexity of Earth. And it is this complexity that challenges Earth scientists as they seek to figure out how the whole planet works as a system. Earth has oceans, forests, deserts, ice sheets, rain, snow, an atmosphere. And we have life.
