Immaculate Beauty: "The Planet Earth"

It would be a wonderful experience seeing the earth from space. Earth, our home planet, is a beautiful blue and white ball when seen from space. The third planet from the Sun, it is the largest of the inner planets. Earth is the only planet known to support life and to have liquid water at the surface. The amazing thing is that the liquid water is about 79% and the land is just 21% of the earth. When we see a dazzling collection of photographs of Earth taken from space we get an idea of how beautiful earth really looks like.

One of the most fantastic records of Earth's beauty, Seen from space, Earth has no national borders, no military zones, and no visible fences. The entire atmosphere of the planet-- all the air we breathe, all the sky we fly through, even the ozone layer is visible as the thinnest rind. The home planet book gives us the amazing pictures of earth and that reveals the awesome beauty of our mother earth.

The green forests, mighty hills, valleys, mountains, the great golden deserts, beautiful islands and flowing rivers all these made the earth as heaven for the living beings. Earth at its most marble-like and blue is not just a feast for the eyes that nature gives us. The Earth is a unique planet which supported life for billions of years.
