About it
The Earth is the third planet from the Sun and our home, the only world known to have life. Oceans cover about 71 percent of its surface, and it turns once on its axis about every 24 hours, which gives us day and night.
Tap it to turn it through one day, with the Sun off to the left. Night falls over one half, the globe turns once, and city lights come on as the land turns into the dark, then go out again at dawn.
