Another beautiful card from Laura(Bixie).

Earth is the third planet from the Sun, and the fifth-largest and the densest of the eight planets in the Solar System. It is also the largest of the Solar System's four terrestial planets. It is sometimes referred to as the World,the Blue Planet, or by its Latin name, Terra.
Home to millions of species including humans, Earth is the only place in the universe where life is known to exist. The planet formed 4,54 billion years ago, and life appeaerdon its surface within a billion years.

From Monna,thank you:)

Saturn is the sixth planet from the Sun and the second largest planet in the Solar system, after Jupiter. Saturn, along with Jupiter, Uranus and Neptune, is classified as a gas giant. Together, these four planets are sometimes referred to as the Jovian, meaning "Jupiter-like", planets.

Saturn is named after the Roman god Saturnus.
