Welcome! Let us explore our big planet today.
Earth has huge areas of land. These big lands are called continents. There are seven continents on our world.

Continents are giant areas of land. Oceans are giant areas of water. Together they cover our planet.
Look at a world map. Green or brown shapes show land continents. Blue areas show deep water oceans.
