I'm the Earth

the only planet with organic life

With 8.7 million species

we all fight to survive

You all live on me so work like bees in a hive

and keep this planet really healthy so that we can all thrive

My atmosphere is 78% nitrogen

Another 21% of it is oxygen

And other small percentages of other elements

Without my atmosphere around you would be frozen

I take 365 Earth days to orbit the sun

24 hours makes one day

That's just one time that I'm spun

You won't fly off into space

Gravity's pulling you down as fast as 9.8 meters a second towards the ground

No one is denser than me
