Know Your Planet Earth: Learn More About It

by Sarah

The Earth is an amazing place! It’s the only planet in our solar system that supports life as we know it, and it has some pretty cool features. For example, did you know that the Earth’s diameter is about the same as the distance from Los Angeles to New York? That’s pretty big!

Know Your Planet Earth: Learn More About It

Just Right

The sun is uniquely placed to provide the perfect amount of light and warmth for life on Earth. If the sun were any closer, our planet would be too hot for Complex Lifeforms. If it were any further away, our planet would be too cold. In fact, out of all the planets in our solar system, Earth is the only one with liquid water on its surface – which is essential for life as we know it!

We Can Breathe

Earth also has a protective atmosphere which helps to regulate temperature and shields us from harmful space weather. Our atmosphere contains just the right mix of gases including oxygen which we need to breathe.

Plant a Tree

Speaking of breathing, did you know that trees play a vital role in producing the oxygen we need to survive? They also help to remove harmful greenhouse gases from the air. This is one of the reasons why it’s so important to protect our planet’s forests!

But Wait, There’s More!

There are lots of other things that make the Earth special too. It has a unique atmosphere that keeps us warm and protects us from harmful space radiation. The Earth also has a lot of water, which is important for life. In fact, without water, there probably wouldn’t be any life on Earth at all!

Lots of Life

The Earth is also full of plants and animals. There are more than 7 billion people on Earth, and each one of us is special in our own way. We come in all different shapes and sizes, and we speak different languages. But we all have one thing in common: we all call the Earth our home.
