PART I. Introduction Earth is the only planet where human can exist and live well.

We want to know more about Earth. Its components and importance. Were so lucky to have planet earth. Causes i we don!t have Earth" perhaps" were not here and all livin# thin#s will not exist. $o let!s all ind out more in ormation about it.

All o us have their own belie on where do Earth came rom. With re#ard this a lot o theories has exists. %ut over this lot o theories" only two was bein# believed by human. The irst one is the %i# %an# theory which states that $olar $ystem and the planet it has" included the earth" and has made rom the bi# explosion o a bi# rock in the &niverse. And the pieces o the rock were named as planets" comets" etc. While the second one in the creation theory which states that Earth was created and made by 'od. %ut what important is that we!re here on Earth. (ere where all our needs was provided. Causes in other planets were not able to survive. And that!s a prove how #i ted us to have Earth.

Conclusion We" our #roup are proud in what we have done. When we made this term paper" a lot o thin#s comes on our mind. Birst is that how can we able to live without Earth. And because o that we reali;e to exist more e ort on takin# #ood care o it. We concluded that no one can exist without Earth. $o let!s thank #od or his wonder ul #i t to us.
