This is a post about planet earth which is the third planet from the Sun. Earth happens to be the fifth largest of the eight planets in the solar system, plus it is also the largest of the non-gas planets in the Solar System and that is in terms of diameter, mass and density. Planet earth is also known as the World, the Blue Planet,and Terra, the Latin, Portuguese, Italian, Romanian and Catalan name for the planet Earth.
This is how they line up in the solar system , you have the Sun, followed by Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Ceres, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto and finally Haumea is a dwarf planet in the Kuiper beltaswell as Makemake and Eris. There happens to be other dwarf planets ie Moons, Martian, Jovian, Saturnian, Uranian, Neptunian, Plutonian, Haumean and finally Eridian. You will also find within the solar system many small bodies like asteroids, Comets and Meteoroids.
Now this planet is home to millions of different species like humans, animal, plants and others and earth seems to be at the moment still the only planet where you can find life. The planet that was formed 4.54 billion years ago and life arrived on the surface within a billion years and ever since then, due to changes within the planet life has managed to succeed and grow. But planet earth does still need the sun and many other biological things to keep it running.
Finally dont forget that the world rotates 366.26 times about it’s axis, but due to the lenght of time for the earth to go around it is known as a sidereal year which becomes equal to 365.26 solar days. The earth’s only natural satellite is the moon, it has been around for 4.53 billion years and it helps to maintain the ocean tides, stabilizes the axial tilt and gradually slows the planet’s rotation.

Last but no means least the continents of the world are Africa, Antaratica, Asia, Australasia and Oceania, Europe and North America, Central America and South America. This is my post on the worlds most longest living planet with human life on EARTH. WHAT A FANTASTIC AND CREATIVE PLANET WE LIVE ON.
