Earth is the third closest planet to the Sun
which is about 93 million miles away.

About 70% of Earth's surface is covered with water, and 97% of all that water is in the salty oceans. Only 3% of Earth's water is freshwater, the water we drink.

What does the atmosphere?

The atmosphere gives us air to breathe.
If too much heat is trapped in Earth's atmosphere, surface temperatures will rise. This is called the “greenhouse” effect and it's what makes Venus so hot.
Some of the oxygen in Earth's atmosphere has changed over time to form ozone.

Does the earth orbits around the Sun ?

Yes, it takes one year to go around the Sun one complete time. The Earth also rotates, or spins, on its axis. It takes one day to spin around one complete time.

What is the ozone ?

Ozone is a highly corrosive and poisonous substance.
It has a sharp, pungent odour. It's present in low concentrations throughout the Earth's atmosphere.
The corrosive nature of ozone can damage plants and trees. High levels of ozone can destroy agricultural crops and forest vegetation.

How can we decrease onzone pollution ?

There are several ways you can help to decrease ozone pollution:

* Limit using your automobile during afternoon and early evening hours in the late spring, summer and early fall.
* Do not use gasoline-powered lawn equipment during these times.
* Don't burn leaves, branches, or lawn trimmings; compost them
* Tightly seal all containers of household cleaners, workshop chemicals and solvents, and garden chemicals
* Plant trees!

Earth with numbers :

* It takes only 24 hours (1 day) for Earth to spin on its axis one time.
* Earth's average surface temperature is 45°F.
* Earth goes around the sun in 365 and 1/4 days
