The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- One complete orbit takes 365.256 days, during which time Earth has traveled 940 million km.
- Ignoring the influence of other Solar System bodies, Earth's orbit, also called Earth's revolution, is an ellipse with the Earth–Sun barycenter as one focus with a current eccentricity of 0.0167.
- Since this value is close to zero, the center of the orbit is relatively close to the center of the Sun.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Earth's orbit article was read about 160,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 62 and blocks with 57: each hit it takes is cut by 23 %.
How to get Earth's orbit
Open packs. Each pack holds five cards drawn from real Wikipedia articles, the rarest last, and the fifth card is always Rare or better. The odds are shown in the game. A free pack arrives every hour and two can wait, and the Coins you win in duels buy more packs.
