Notes

Our home planet, Earth, is the third planet from the sun. While scientists continue to look for signs of life beyond Earth, our planet remains the only place in the universe where we've found living organisms. Earth is the solar system's fifth-largest planet. It is smaller than the four gas giants, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune, but larger than the three rocky planets, Mercury, Mars, and Venus.  The Earth has a diameter of approximately 8,000 miles (13,000 kilometres) and is mostly round due to gravity's tendency to pull matter into a ball. However, the Earth's spin causes it to be squashed at its poles and swollen at its equator, resulting in the true shape of the Earth being a "oblate spheroid." Our planet is unique for many reasons, but the availability of water and oxygen are two that stand out. Water covers roughly 71% of the Earth's surface, with the majority of that water found in our planet's oceans. Plants produce about one-fifth of the oxygen in the atmosphere.
