Earth facts by Jayden
Posted by year2 on July 10, 2009
Here are some facts about Earth:
Earth is the third planet from the sun. It is the largest of the four inner planets. These planets are Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars. The inner planets are also called the rocky planets, because they are made of rocks.
Earth is often called the “Water Planet” because it is the only planet in our solar system which has liquid water on its surface. About 70% of the surface of Earth is covered by water! The other part of Earth is made up of continents and islands which have different landforms on them. Examples of landforms are mountains, and plains. Because Earth has so much water, plants and animals can live on Earth.
Earth spins very quickly compared to other planets. It only takes Earth 24 hours to spin around its axis one time. One Earth day is 24 hours long!!! Earth orbits the sun in 365 days! This makes one Earth year 365 days long!!!
Earth has big oceans and a lot of water vapor in the air. Earth has clouds made of water vapor. Earth has an atmosphere with a lot of oxygen in it for us to breathe. The rest of our “air” is made up of nitrogen, carbon dioxide and other gases.
