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.
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.
