Earth has one natural satellite, the Moon, and many artificial satellites used for communication. Gravity holds objects on Earth's surface due to its atmosphere and three quarters of the planet is covered by oceans. In the past, Earth was covered in trees and grasslands but it is now mostly developed land. Earth will face environmental challenges in the future from pollution if changes are not made.

• Earth’s natural satellites are like the moon. Earth has one natural satellite. Our Artificial Satellite • Artificial satellites are like radio stations and TV channels. Earth has more than any other planet. Gravity • Gravity is what holds you down on Earth and not just let you float in the air. Gravity depends on the atmosphere. Oceans • The ocean almost covers ¾ (75%) of the Earth. Environment • Most of the Earth’s land was full of trees and thousands of grasslands, but now there are mostly homes and businesses. Size • Earth’s diameter (distance around the Earth) is 12,756.3 km. Earth’s Past • Earth was full of dinosaurs and trees. Can you tell me how Earth has changed? Earth’s Future • Earth, in time, will be horrible because trash will be all over the place. There might be hover crafts. Can you tell how it will change? Questions • How many natural satellites does Earth have? How many unnatural ones? What shape is Earth? Questions • What lived on Earth before us? How much water covers Earth? Can you tell me what you think will be on Earth after us? What will Earth look like? THE END
