| The Earth – Our Amazing Home Planet |
Earth is the 3rd Planet from the Sun and the only one known to Support Life. It has the perfect mix of Air, Water and Temperature to keep People, Animals and Plants alive around 71% of Earth is covered in Water, while the rest 29% is Land with Mountains, Forests, Deserts and Cities.
Earth Spins
once every 24 hours (giving us Day and Night) and travels around the Sun once
every 365 days (making one year). It also has one Moon, which helps control the
tides in our Oceans.
Thanks to its Atmosphere,
Sunlight and Natural Resources, Earth is the perfect place for Life - and it's
the only Home we've got. That's why it's so important to take care of it.

What Do We Get from Earth?
Earth is the
3rd Planet from the Sun and the 5th Largest Planet in the Solar System in terms
of Size and Mass. It is the only place known to Harbor Life. Earth's atmosphere
is mostly composed of Nitrogen and Oxygen,
providing the necessary conditions for life to thrive. The atmosphere also
protects the planet from most incoming meteoroids, which typically break up
before reaching the surface. The planet's mean radius is approximately 6371.0
Kilo meters, with an equatorial circumference of about 40,075 Kilo meters. The
surface area of Earth is around 510 million square kilo meters, of which about
71% is covered by water and 29% by land. Earth's rotation period is 24 hours,
and its sidereal rotation period is slightly less, at about 23 hours and 56
minutes. The planet's axial tilt is approximately 4 degrees, which is
responsible for the seasons. Earth gives us everything we need to live -
it’s our amazing home full of natural gifts.
