kinds of interesting things in it. There are nine planets in our solar system. Earth is the planet that we live on. The sun, which we see every day, is not a planet.

People and companies pollute the water by throwing trash into it. Chemicals that kill plants and fish are also dumped into the water. Factories and power stations pollute the air with smoke and poisonous gases. Cars also make exhaust fumes that pollute the air.  When these gases mix with the water in the air, they produce acid rain. This rain is not good for the plants on earth. The more acid there is in the rain, the faster it will kill the plants. Pollution is a serious problem on our Earth today.
