Abby and Faith went for a walk in Conway, AR. They chose to walk the beautiful paved trail that Conway has to offer around the city. On this walk, they saw other people on the trail, fish and turtle in the creek that runs parallel to the trail, and they also saw many birds in the cloudy sky. About half-way through the trail, Faith tripped over a brick and rolled her ankle. This led to Abby carrying Faith all the way back home and driving her to the nearby hospital. From this story, tell me some examples of the Earth's spheres.
