Hope that helps! --GaiaGirl86 (talk)
 * The academic article from Science and Nature Journal looks like the most relevant and authoritative source for this article - better than a book that may have been a personal account or an essay. AhimeCrudele (talk) 19:53, 14 November 2021 (UTC)AhimeCrudele

Summary from the Source

 * Studies show that the Earth formed around 4.5 billion years ago. It is surrounded by air or atmosphere, which is also called biosphere as it is being altered and changed by all the living organisms. As much as 71% of Earth's surface is covered in salt water oceans. The remaining 29% of its surface is rocky land that we know as continents and islands.


 * Like all other known planets, the Earth is a moving object. It spins around itself, taking up the period of time we call a day, and it takes roughly 365.25 days to go around the Sun. This is why a year has 365 days, except for a leap day once every four years. On the other hand, the Moon revolves around the Earth and, together with it, around the Sun.

Summary from the Source
I went and summarized the source in my own words:
 * Science shows that the Earth formed around 4.5 billion years ago. The organisms that live on Earth have completely changed its air (atmosphere); this is called a biosphere. 71% of Earth's surface is covered in salt water oceans. Earth is the only place in the Solar System where liquid water is known to exist at present. The other 29% is made of rocky land in the shape of continents and islands.


 * Earth interacts with other objects in the Solar System, particularly the Sun and the Moon. The Earth orbits or goes around the Sun roughly once every 365.25 days. One spin is called a day and one orbit around the Sun is called a year. This is why there are 365 days in a year, but a leap day is added once every 4 years.

It'd be great if someone could add that for me, I have a rocket to catch! Bye for now ;)  --GaiaGirl86 (talk)
