- Earth is the third planet from the sun and the densest major body in the solar system. 71% of Earth's surface is covered with water and it is the only planet where water can exist as a liquid on the surface. - Earth's atmosphere is 77% nitrogen, 21% oxygen, with traces of other gases. The interaction between Earth and the Moon is slowing Earth's rotation over time. - There are debates around whether there are six or seven continents, depending on whether Europe and Asia are considered separate or combined as Eurasia. The continents are Antarctica, Australia, Africa, North America, South America, Asia, and Europe.

2. Earth facts:
•Earth is the third planet from the sun
•Earth is the fifth largest planet
•It wasn’t until the twentieth century
that we had maps of Earth
•Earth is the densest major body in the
solar system
•71 Percent of the Earth's surface is
covered with water.
•Earth is the only planet on which
water can exist in liquid form on the
surface
•The Earth's atmosphere is 77%
nitrogen, 21% oxygen, with traces of
argon, carbon dioxide and water
•The interaction of the Earth and the
Moon slows the Earth's rotation by
about 2 milliseconds per century.
Current research indicates that about
900 million years ago there were 481
18-hour days in a year.

3. Earth is divided into seven continents:
•Australia Antarctica
•South America Africa
•North America
•Asia
•Europe

4. • Definition: The major land masses of the
earth. According to tradition most people
speak of seven continents on the planet.
However, geologically there are six large
distinct land masses on the earth so many
geographers and scientists refer to six.
Do you think there are six or seven continents?

5. • Those who consider there to be seven
continents refer to a separate Europe and Asia
(divided at the Ural Mountains in western
Russia) while those who prefer six continents
refer to the joined land mass (and single
tectonic plate) as Eurasia. In some countries,
the Americas are combined into one
continent.

6. • In these Continents are Countries:
Africa = 54 Countries
Asia = 44 Countries
Europe = 47 Countries
North America = 23 Countries
Oceanea = 14 Countries
South America = 12 Countries
Antartica does not have any countries! Do you
know why?
Let’s look at the full list of countries in these
Continents

7. Let’s have fun with a little song about
Continents!

And a little movie I made for you to
see some of the Countries in these
Continents…
