ball of rock almost covered by oceans. It is not

only planet with plants and animals. It is just
right for humans to live. From space Earth
looks like a ball covered with white clouds. Under
the clouds are brown land areas and blue
oceans. A year on Earth
is 365 days long. One day is 24 hours
long.
