The Earth is a big round ball. There are a lot of interesting things on the earth. The sun shines, the wind blows, the rain falls on it.We see the sky and the see, air and water, trees and grass on the earth. A lot of beautiful flowers grow in the fields and gardens. Different birds and animals live in the forest.But nothing can live without sunlight. The sun is like a lamp that gives light, and it is also like a fire that gives warmth. But animals, trees and plants cannot grow and live without air and water. The rain gives them water, the sun warms them and everything begins to grow.Water is the most wonderful thing on the earth. Some of the water is in rivers and lakes, some in seas and oceans. The water in rivers and lakes is fresh, and in seas and oceans the water is salty.The earth is full of wonders.

7. Find the words and write a sentence with each one.

Example: The Atmosphere is the gaseous layer of the Earth.

1. Hydrosphere is the liquid part of the Earth.2. Geosphere is the solid part of the Earth.3. Rotation is the movement of the Earth around its own axis.4. Revolution is the movement of the Earth around the sun.5. There is water in seas, rivers and oceans.6. Air is the gas that we breathe.7. The Earth is composed of land, air and water.

8. Read and complete the following sentences.

1. A year is the time that the Earth takes to revolve around the sun.2. A day is the time that the Earth takes to rotate around its own axis.3. We have seasons because the Earth’s inclination is tilted and it always points the same way when the Earth revolves around the Sun. That is to say, the revolution movement and the inclination of the Earth are responsible for seasons.4. We have day and night because of the rotation movement.5. The rotation movement is also responsible for the time difference in different parts of the world.6. We have a leap year every four years because the Earth doesn’t take exactly 365 days to revolve around the Sun; it takes a quarter of a day more than that.7. Winter and summer take place at different times of the year in the Northern and Southern hemispheres.
