DEAR EARTH FRIENDS,

HELLO! I AM ZOG FROM PLANET ZETA. I HAVE GOT MANY QUESTIONS ABOUT YOUR GALAXY AND YOUR PLANET.

I KNOW YOU LIVE IN THE MILKY WAY. HOW MANY PLANETS HAS YOUR SOLAR SYSTEM GOT? MY PLANET HAS GOT THREE MOONS. HAS EARTH GOT MOONS TOO?

I HAVE GOT ONE MORE QUESTION. HOW MANY CONTINENTS HAS YOUR PLANET GOT? HOW MANY OCEANS HAS YOUR PLANET GOT? MY PLANET HAS GOT 12 CONTINENTS AND 20 OCEANS.

I HOPE YOU WRITE BACK SOON.
