Welcome to Planet Earth
Explanation: Welcome to Planet
Earth
, the third planet from a
star
named the
Sun
. The
Earth is shaped like a sphere
and
composed mostly of rock
. Over 70 percent of the
Earth's surface is water
. The planet has a relatively thin
atmosphere
composed mostly of
nitrogen
and
oxygen
. The
above picture
of Earth, dubbed
Blue Marble
, was taken from
Apollo 17
in 1972 and features Africa and Antarctica. It is thought to be one of the most
widely distributed photographs
of any kind. Earth has a single large
Moon
that is about 1/4 of its diameter and, from the planet's surface, is seen to have almost exactly the same angular size as the
Sun
. With its abundance of liquid
water
,
Earth
supports a large variety of
life forms
, including potentially intelligent species such as
dolphins
and
humans
. Please
enjoy your stay
on Planet Earth.
