Earth
Earth is the only known planet to support life, probably because of all that water! The 71% of the Earth’s surface that is water is most likely to thank for our entire existence! Pretty spooky right?
Earth is like Goldilocks’ porridge not too hot, not too cold, but juuust right! That’s why it’s the perfect home for animals, plants, and even us. Any closer or futher from the sun and we would be a popsicle or a barbeque!
Earth wears a big invisible blanket called the atmosphere. It keeps us warm, lets us breathe, and even stops space rocks from bonking into us. The atmosphere is our personal super hero.
