  'erde'. The name Earth is at least 1000 years
  old.

Earths Moon

• The moon moves around Earth in a path called an
  orbit. Earths gravity holds the moon in orbit.
  The moon orbits Earth once every 27.3 days.
• The moon is smaller than Earth. About 49 moons
  would fit inside Earth. The moon is 2160 miles
  across .
• In 1969 humans first walked on the moon.In the
  sunlight temputure reaches 250 degrees ferinheit

gravity

• Today we will introduce gravity. This force is
  such a part of our lives that not to have gravity
  would mean that life could not exist for us.
• GravityGravity is a force that for us is always
  directed downwards. But to say that gravity acts
  downwards is not correct. Gravity acts down, no
  matter where you stand on the Earth. It is better
  to say that on Earth gravity pulls objects
  towards the centre of the Earth. So no matter
  where you are on Earth all objects fall to the
  ground

12
Moons first foot

• Neil Armstrong set foot on the moon in 1969 in a
  race against Russia U.K. And other people
  around the world

13
axis

• The Earth currently has an axial tilt of about
  23.44 (23 26). The axis remains tilted in the
  same direction throughout a year however, as the
  Earth orbits the Sun, the hemisphere (half part
  of earth) tilted away from the Sun will gradually
  become tilted towards the Sun, and vice versa.
  This effect is the main cause of the seasons (see
  effect of sun angle on climate).
