Fun facts to share while coloring
Earth is the third planet from the Sun and the only place we know of where life exists. About 71% of its surface is covered by water, which is why it looks so blue from space. The air around Earth is mostly nitrogen, with oxygen making up about one-fifth of the atmosphere we breathe. Earth spins once in about 24 hours, giving us day and night, and it travels around the Sun in about 365 days. Its outer shell is broken into huge tectonic plates that move very slowly, helping form mountains, ocean trenches, volcanoes, and earthquakes over long stretches of time.
Coloring tips
For a classic Earth palette, use deep ocean blue for the seas, bright and dark greens for forests and grasslands, sandy tan for deserts, warm brown for mountains, snowy white for polar ice, and soft white or pale gray for clouds. A light blue halo around the edge can suggest the atmosphere. Because Earth pages often have curved coastlines, round globe shapes, and cloud swirls, try coloring in small circular strokes instead of straight lines. Layer green over tan in some land areas to make continents look more natural. For a creative twist, shade one side of the planet darker and add tiny yellow city lights, as if you are seeing Earth from space at night.
