Earth is the third closest planet to the sun. It has one moon. The location of Earth, along with an atmosphere that is neither too thin nor too thick, means that its temperature is just right for us to survive. Seventy percent of Earth's surface is covered by water. The remaining thirty percent is covered by land, including mountains, volcanoes, deserts, plains, and valleys. It takes Earth 365 ¼ days to orbit the sun, and twenty-four hours to completely revolve on its axis.
