Earth is a lucky planet. It is just the right distance from the Sun. Not too hot. Not too cold. Scientists call this the Goldilocks zone! Goldilocks zone Earth Sun

地球是一个幸运的星球。它离太阳的距离正好。 不要太热。不要太冷。 科学家们称之为“金发姑娘地带”！适居带地球太阳

Each time Earth spins, you wake up to a new day. Each time Earth travels around the Sun, you turn one year older.

地球每转一次，你就会迎来新的一天。 地球每绕太阳一周，你就老一岁。

Earth has a special tilt that gives us seasons. The part that tips toward the Sun warms into summer. The part that tips away cools into winter.

地球有一种特殊的倾斜，给我们带来了季节。 向太阳倾斜的部分进入夏季后变暖。 倾斜的部分在冬天冷却下来。

When Earth was born, it was so hot, everything was melted rock. As it cooled, a crust formed. Then volcanoes erupted through the crust!

地球刚诞生时，非常热，所有东西都是融化的岩石。 当它冷却时，形成了地壳。 然后火山从地壳中喷发出来！

The volcanoes gave off water vapor and gases, forming our oceans and atmosphere.

火山喷发出水蒸气和气体，形成了我们的海洋和大气。
