What does Continent really mean?

Alright, so think of the Earth like a big puzzle. Each piece of that puzzle is called a continent. A continent is a really, really big piece of land that's surrounded by water. It's like if you had a bunch of big islands all squished together.

There are seven continents in the world: Africa, Asia, Europe, North America, South America, Antarctica, and Australia. Each continent has its own unique features, like different kinds of animals, plants, and people who live there.

So, let's imagine that the Earth is a huge pizza, and each slice of the pizza is a continent. You've got the cheese and toppings in the middle that make up the continent, and the crust around the edges is the water that separates one continent from another.

Another way to think about it is like a jigsaw puzzle. When you put all the pieces together, you've got the entire picture of the world. Each piece (or continent) fits together to create the whole picture of the Earth.

So, in simple terms, a continent is a really big piece of land surrounded by water, and there are seven of them on our planet. Each one has its own unique characteristics and together they make up the big, beautiful world we live in!
