    Earth is the third
    planet from the Sun
    and the only place
    known in the universe
    that is inhabited by
    living things.
    With a radius of
    3,959 miles, Earth It's the only one
    is the fifth largest known for sure to
    planet in our have liquid water
    solar system on its surface

    Some cultures have described our world


    using the Germanic word “earth,” which
    means simply “the ground" and that's how it
    named.
    Distance from Sun Length of Year Planet Type
    93 Million km 365 Earth Days Terrestrial
    Characteristics of Earth
    Has a lot of water for all living process
    Has high oxygen content for all respiratory process
    Has suitable temperature range
    Has Atmosphere to block harmful ultraviolet rays
    Receive sunlight for plants to conduct photosynthesis

    Has gravity that keeps object from floating


    ATMOSPHERE
    Earth has a layer of air known as the atmosphere.
    Atmosphere protect the surface of Earth from solar
    wind, harmful ultraviolet rays and radiation from outer space.

    Main Atmospheric Content:


    21% 0.03%
    Oxygen Carbon Dioxide

    78% 0.97%

    EARTH'S PLACE IN SPACE
    Earth spins around an
    imaginary line running
    through its center called an
    axis.
    It rotates once every 24

    STRUCTURE OF THE
    EARTH'S INTERIOR

    The structure of earth is divided into four main


    layers.
    The four layers are Crust, Mantle, Inner Core and
    Outer Core
    Outermost layer of the earth it is also the surface of the
    earth.
    This comprises the continents and ocean basins and
    therefore it has been classifed into Continental Crust and
    Oceanic Crust.
    Continemental Crust averages have 25miles (40km) thick
    Oceanic Crust is usually only about 5 miles(8 km) thick
    About 1800 miles thick
    Earth's crust floats on the mantle much as a wood
    floats on water and the slow motion of rock shuffles
    continements around will causes earthquakes,
    volcanoes and so on
    Earth's core is about 4400 miles wide
    Outer Core
    - Hot and liquid layer comprising mainly of Nickel
    and Iron
    It classified to two core it is Inner Core and
    Outer Core
