Hope that helps! --GaiaGirl86 (talk)

@GaiaGirl86—We should likely use the second source. The first one is a self-published source, meaning that they claim they are an expert themselves, which they are likely not. The third source is likely for middle schoolers, and not expert enough for Wikipedia. Thanks. —3PPYB6 (test account) (talk) 19:27, 24 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

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)
