Earth
[edit]The Earth is the third planet from the Sun. It is one of the four terrestrial planets in our Solar System. This means most of its mass is solid. The other threes are Mercury, Mars, and Venus. The Earth is also called the Blue Planet, Planet Earth, and Terra.
The Earth is home to millions of species of plants and animals, including humans.

The other 29% is made of rocky land in the shape of continents and islands. Earth interacts with other objects in the Solar System, particularly the Sun and the Moon. The Earth orbits or goes around the Sun roughly once every 365.25 days. One spin is called a day and one orbit around the Sun is called a year. This is why there are 365 days in a year, but a leap day is added once every 4 years.
