Welcome To Earth!
Please come and explore our breathtaking natural features.
Learn our ways.
We regionalize our world in 3 different ways. One of them is continents: Africa, Antarctica, Asia, Europe, North America, Oceania and South America. We have also have different time zones. Time Zones help make up for the earth revolving around the sun. We humans use daylight as our time to be awake. As the earth rotates the sun hits different parts of the earth. We have time zones so that each section of our earth can use that daylight to its full advantage. If you are traveling our world oceans can easily get in your way. Oceans separate most of our continents.
