### 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."
### 5. **It Takes 24 Hours for Earth to Rotate Once**
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!
### 6. **The Atmosphere Protects Us Like a Blanket**
Earth’s atmosphere acts as a shield, protecting us from the sun's harmful rays and from meteoroids, which burn up as they enter.
### 7. **Earth Has a Magnetic Field**
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.
### 9. **Earth Is Really, Really Old**
Scientists believe Earth is around 4.5 billion years old! That’s 4,500,000,000 years—a lot of birthdays for our planet!
