No mention of Thea, how we acquired the moon, and how we got our rotation.

The Earth's atmosphere is part of the planet therefore the circumference of the planet is around, sixty thousand miles. I'm glad it's part of the planet that we live inside, due to the aforementioned fact; I am fond of breathing.
