This is Earth. You may have heard of it. Known as the Third Rock from the Sun, and famed as the only planet (that we know of) that sustains life, Planet Earth is a Marvel even amongst a universe of marvels. It sits in what scientists poetically call the Goldilocks Zone, a perfect distance from the Sun to prevent its surface from becoming too hot, while not being so far that it gets too cold. In other words, Earth is perfectly placed to receive just the right temperatures to sustain life. Not only that, but over 70% of the surface of our Blue Planet is covered in water, a vital substance for the development of life. With this Planet Earth Plush by Celestial Buddies, you can learn more about our wondrous planet, from the comfort of your own home (which, presumably, sits on the very same planet you'll be learning about ). These Plushes are adorable representations of the planets of our Solar System, and are perfect for teaching both young and old about the wonders of space, and of our place in it.
