As viewed from space, Earth’s distinguishing characteristics are its blue waters and white clouds.
Enveloped by an ocean of air consisting of 78% nitrogen and 21% oxygen, the planet is the only one in our solar
system known to harbor life. Circling the Sun at an average distance of 149 million kilometers (93 millons miles),
Earth is the third planet from the sun and the fifth largest planet the solar system.
Its rapid spin and molten niclked-iron core give rise to an extensive magnetic field which, coupled with the
atmosphere, shiedls us from nearly all of the harmful radiation coming from the sun and other stars. Most meteors
burn up in the Earth’s atmosphere before they can strike the sunface. The planet’s active geological processes have
left no evidence of the ancient pelting it almost certainly received soon after it was fromed. The Earth has singe
natural satellite-the Moon.
