I am a hot shot, full of energy!

Sun…is a hot shot full of energy! Sun is located at the very center of the Solar System. No wonder he has such a big ego, but who can blame him? The whole solar system literally revolves around him!

I’m a real hottie! The temperature at my center is a sizzling 28,500° F, and on my surface it is 10,340° F.  I am the star located at the center of your Solar System, but I am just one of an estimated 200-400 billion stars orbiting within our Milky Way Galaxy. There may be as many as 200 billion galaxies, which means that your Sun is only one out of 80,000,000,000,000 stars!

I am composed mostly of hydrogen and helium with trace amounts of other elements. All my energy is produced in my core by nuclear fusion. This energy travels to the surface and is then emitted as visible light, which reaches the Earth, 93,000,000 miles away, about 8 minutes later, and as the heat that keeps our planet warm..

I am good natured, and a true blue friend!

Earth…is good natured and a true blue friend! Earth is our home and currently the only planet in the Universe where life is known to exist.

I am home to millions of different forms of life including bacteria, animals, plants and you humans. At present I am the only place in the Universe where any kind of life, simple or complex, is known to exist. About 71% of my surface is covered with water, giving me my characteristic blue appearance from space. This presence and abundance of liquid water makes me unique compared to my planetary neighbors. Liquid water is a fundamental element for life. as we know it, to exist.

On March 2, 2019, I was placed on board the SpaceX Crew Dragon and launched to the international Space Station as a "super hi-tech zero gravity indicator."  I was supposed to go back home the next week, but the astronauts loved me so much that I was invited to stay on board!  Some people think that I am The Most Famous Toy in the Universe!

I am your loyal and constant companion!

Moon…is your loyal and constant companion! Moon is the Earth’s only natural satellite and loyally follows the Earth as they both orbit the Sun.

I am the Earth’s only natural satellite. I am held in orbit by a mutual attraction to Earth’s gravity. Ocean tides are a direct result of my gravitational forces pulling on the Earth.

I was created when Earth was impacted by a massive object at the beginning of the Universe. The expelled material formed me! The half million craters on my surface were created by impacting meteors and asteroids. I don’t emit my own light. It is the Sun’s rays reflecting off my face that produce my brightness. My orbital and rotational periods are the same, so people on Earth can only see one side of me.  Sometimes, my orbit takes me directly between the Earth and the Sun, causing a solar eclipse and plunging parts of the world into total darkness . . .but only for a few minutes.

I am the only celestial body that Earthlings have visited. . . so far:   Mars . . .you may be next!

Our Planet . . .Our Responsibility!

Our Planet, Our Responsibility. A Message to Parents and Educators:

Our Precious Planet is a larger (nine inch diameter) more detailed version of Earth designed to help start a conversation about climate change and global warming. Consistent with our mission to both enlighten and delight, this Special Edition Buddy is a gentle introduction to a very complicated but also very important subject.

We at Celestial Buddies understand that there are many factors that contribute to climate change, but we are concerned enough about the human contribution to global warming that we believe that, as an educational toy company, we should give families and educators a tool to help promote healthy discussions with our children about this important issue. Like all the other Celestial Buddies, Our Precious Planet comes with an educational hang tag that provides useful introductory information about our planet and climate change. It also includes a colorful supplemental tag that illustrates some of the causes and effects of global warming, as well as some suggestions about what individual human beings, including children and their parents, can do to help.

Is extraterrestrial life out there? Although the search continues, we have found no evidence of any other planet with such an amazing variety of living things and ecosystems as Our Precious Planet, so let’s not take it for granted. Earth was formed 4.53 billion years ago; the earliest forms of life appeared at least 3.5 billion years ago; and we people . . . homo sapiens . . . have been living here for only around 200,000 years. Although the Earth’s climate can change gradually over time, human activities, such as industry, deforestation, pollution and urban development, have speeded up the pace of climate change and are increasing the amount of global warming, which can lead to melting glaciers, rising sea levels, extreme weather and species extinctions.

Earth needs our help now! How can YOU help? Recycle bottles, cans, plastic, & paper. Turn off water and electricity when not in use. Drink filtered tap water and carry it in reusable bottles. Ask your parents to buy reusable grocery bags. Plant a tree or a garden. Walk or ride a bike when you can. Don't litter. Learn all you can about our environment, and please take good care of Our Precious Planet!
