EARTH

About me:

Well, I'm EARTH*, I am not female nor am I a male, I am a planet and I am fine today. For four and a half billion years I've lived with my Moon, my eleven siblings, the asteroid belt and our Sun. If my life span was that of a 12 inch ruler, the life span of humans would not even be as big as one of the lines that mark the inches. I spin at over 1000 miles an hour while I orbit the Sun, (a million times my size) at 67,000 miles per hour. Humans worry of their pollution which is sweet but they don't worry at all about the 100,000 tons of space junk, (meteorites) that fall upon EARTH every single day, hmmm. I am presently in an interglacial phase that could last for another 10,000 years or more.

As one of twelve children I was always kinda over looked. That's because Mars managed to get the most attention, it was always, "Mars Mars Mars", until things changed around. Now I'm the only one that adds life to the party. My Dad, the Sun, can be a bit of a hot head, always flaring up but if you keep your distance he's quite warm. I guess you can tell I gravitate toward a tilted sence of humor. What can I say, I'm hard core, literally, I have a hard core.

I hope you enjoy your ride upon EARTH! We have Peanuts*!
