Planet Earth
We're the life of the party!
Planet Earth is amazing! We have so much technology and have advanced so far as a society. We have discovered some 2 million different species of plants, animals, and microbes on Earth. We have created complex societies and discovered so much about our selves. One of the biggest reasons you should come is to see our beautiful beaches! We have discovered over 1 million plants, animals, and microbes that live there. So there's a lot of diverse species to see. Also the sunset and sunrise is beautiful on the beach! There are so many things you can do on the beach like surf, fish, go out on a boat, swim, or just lay out and soak up the sun!
History
