Our home planet Earth is a terrestrial planet. It has a solid and active surface with mountains, valleys, plains and so much more. Earth is special because it is an ocean planet. Water covers 70% of Earth's surface. Our atmosphere is made mostly of nitrogen and has plenty of oxygen for us to breathe. Earth has just one Moon. It is the only planet to have just one moon. Earth is the third planet from the Sun in our solar system. That means Venus and Mars are Earth’s neighboring planets. The inside of Earth is very different from the outside. Small and simple kinds of life can live far under the surface but animals and plants only live on the surface or in the seas. About seven billion people live on Earth. They live in about 200 different countries.
