We all know that we live in Planet Earth. But have you ever wondered, where is this Earth? Yes, we all know that the Earth is in Outer Space.
Now, we live in houses and streets which have specific names. But if Earth lives somewhere, the place it lives in should have a name, right? The Earth lives in its house, which is known as the Solar System. It lives in the street known as Milky Way Galaxy, or Akash Ganga (Indian name).
We have our family by our side, at our home, but have you ever wondered, does the Earth have a family?
Yes, quite so. It has one twin, 6 cousins and one grandfather:
Twin Mars
Cousin Mercury
Cousin Venus
Cousin Jupiter
Cousin Saturn
Cousin Uranus
Cousin Neptune
Grandfather Sun
As you know, once upon a time, Earth and Mars were identical twins. But Mars didn't like being blue, so he somehow changed himself.
Cousin Mercury, or Mercury, was Sun's first pet.
Cousin Venus, or Venus, was very bright in class (you know what I mean, don't you?).
Cousin Jupiter, or Jupiter, was the biggest of them all, though he was the 4th youngest.
Cousin Saturn, or Saturn, is talented in Ballet. But she also Hoola Hoops.
Cousin Uranus, or Uranus, is always icy cold. Sun is still trying to find out why, but Uranus just won't let him near him.
Cousin Neptune, or Neptune, is so crazy that he spins awkwardly.
Grandfather Sun, or Sun, is very hot, and feeds everyone. He feeds Earth and Mars the right amount, but too much or too less to the others because they are either too close or too far.
These Planets have particular places in their house, you can see it from the diagram below:
The house is kind of awkward, isn't it?
Well, that's because they're planets and not humans.
The Milky Way Galaxy Street has neighbouring streets. Scientists from Earth have made researches and found out that their is a neighbouring Galaxy.... I mean, street, called Andromeda.
Now, if you are such a space nerd, tune in for more Scientific and.... "spacific" posts.
Bye!!
And don't forget that Earth likes eating Oxygen, Nitrogen Carbon dioxide and....
More gases!
P.S - There is a friend called Pluto who lives in the Solar System...... And Earth's closest friend called Moon who keeps lingering near Earth....
