### 1. **Earth Is the Only Planet with Liquid Water on Its Surface**
About 71% of Earth’s surface is covered in water, making it unique in our solar system for supporting oceans, rivers, and lakes.
### 2. **Earth Is the Only Known Planet with Life**
So far, Earth is the only planet known to have life, with millions of plant and animal species, thanks to its perfect conditions of water, atmosphere, and temperature.
### 3. **The Earth Has Layers, Like an Onion!**
Earth has several layers: the crust (where we live), the mantle, the outer core, and the inner core. Each layer has different properties and materials!
### 4. **Earth Isn’t a Perfect Sphere**
Earth is slightly flattened at the poles and bulges a bit at the equator due to its rotation. This shape is called an "oblate spheroid."

This rotation on its axis gives us day and night. Earth spins at about 1,000 miles per hour (1,609 kilometers per hour) at the equator!

Earth’s atmosphere acts as a shield, protecting us from the sun's harmful rays and from meteoroids, which burn up as they enter.

Earth’s iron core creates a magnetic field that surrounds the planet, protecting us from solar wind and allowing us to use compasses for navigation.
### 8. **We Have Different Seasons Because Earth Tilts**
Earth is tilted about 23.5 degrees on its axis, so different parts of the planet get different amounts of sunlight throughout the year, creating seasons.
