EARTH
| Clouds1 3D | Clouds near Tenerife, the 3rd largest shield volcano on Earth after Hawaii's Mauna Loa and Muana Kea. Tenerife is located in the Canary islands off the NW coast of Africa. Clouds form when moist air is forced up mountain slopes where water droplets then condense. |

| Volcano4 3D | Closer view of Mt. St. Helens which shows the lava dome in the center. |
| Volcano5 3D | Aniakchak volcano caldera in Alaska erupted 3,400 years ago. A small lake is now within the caldera. |
| Volcano6 3D | Eruption of Klyuchevskaya volcano in Kamchatka, Russia on October 1, 1994. Plume consists of hot gas and ash. |
| Volcano7 3D | Klyuchevskaya volcano. Vertical plume rise halted by the temperature inversion at the troposphere boundary. |
| Volcano8 3D | Klyuchevskaya volcano on October 10, 1994, shortly after the previous eruption. |
| Geology1 3D | The Owens Valley area in California and Nevada formed when the Earth's crust was stretched east to west. |
| Geology2 3D | Fluvial erosion is shown in the Ahmar Mts. in Ethiopeia |
| Geology3 3D | The Grand Canyon formed by erosion from the Colorado River. |

| Temperature | The variation of average global temperature over geologic time. |
| Solar Variation | Sunlight reaching Earth varies by about 0.1% due to sunspots. |
| Magnetosphere | The unperturbed magnetosphere of Earth. The inner van Allen radiation belt exists between altitudes 4,500 miles and 7,600 miles (7,600 km to 13,000 km). The outer Van Allen radiation belt exists between altitudes 11,500 miles and 25,000 miles (19,000 km to 41,000 km). |
| Solar Wind | The interaction between the solar wind and Earth's magnetosphere distorts the magnetosphere. |
| Earth&Moon1 | The Earth and its Moon seen in the same picture from the Galileo spacecraft. |
| Earth&Moon2 | This picture of the Earth and Moon was taken by the Galileo spacecraft on December 16, 1992 from a distance of 3.9 million miles. |

| Seasonal Tilt | Earth as viewed from the Sun during the course of an entire year. |
| Light Pollution | America at night and the whole world at night. |
| WorldPopulation | Human population density in 1994. |
