ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

@earth

Earth is our home! It's a big round ball that we live on and it's covered in water, land, and air. The surface is made up of different layers, like soil, rocks, and mountains. We can see the Sun, Moon, and stars from the Earth because we live in something called a "solar system," which is like a big group of things that spin around each other in space.

Earth is very special because it's the only planet we know of that can support life. People, animals, and plants all live here and need things like air, water, and sunshine to survive. Because of that, we have to take care of the Earth and not do things that might hurt it, like polluting the air or water.

We also have to be careful about things in space that could hurt the Earth, like big rocks called "asteroids." Sometimes, these rocks can hit the Earth and cause a lot of damage. But don't worry, scientists are always watching out for things like that and working on ways to protect us.
