EARTH AND SPACE
•
Life is great and we get
to experience it every
day. But what makes us
able to have such a
luxury? Why are we the
only planet that has life
on it and is it possible
lose this privilege?????
WHY EARTH??
•
Earth’s atmosphere is one of the
primary reasons life is
sustainable. Oxygen is present in
the atmosphere and is the gas
that keeps humans alive. There
is also Carbon Dioxide which
keeps heat on the surface of the
planet. However too much of the
Carbon Dioxide can be harmful
because it is a poisonous gas.
An example of a planet that has
too much Carbon Dioxide is
Venus.
THE ATMOSPHERE
•
A major reason that life is able to
be kept on Earth is its climate.
The Earth’s climate stays fairly
constant which allows us to
survive. Other planets such as
Mercury can go from -200
degrees Celsius to 375 degrees
Celsius! These extremes could
not support human or plant life.
THE CLIMATE
FUN FACT!
•
It takes sunlight about 8 minutes and 19
seconds to actually reach the Earth!
•
Water is one of the primary
necessities of life and without it
we would not be able to survive.
The Earth has an abundance of
water which makes it able to
support life. One of Jupiter’s
moons Europa has a frozen
ocean of water under its surface.
With water there is a possibility
of life.
THE EARTH HAS WATER!
•
Earth receives light from the Sun,
but so do all of the other planets.
So why is it a part of sustaining
life? The reason light is so
important is because Earth uses
is better than any other planet.
Plants use light to produce
oxygen which is gas that we as
humans need to survive. If you
have ever tried growing a plant in
the dark, you won’t be very
successful. Light is important for
the Earth to sustain life.
LIGHT
•
Without the Sun there would be
no life on Earth. The distance
that Earth is from the sun allows
it to receive the perfect amount
of light and heat to have life. It
also keeps the Earth in its orbit
and without it the Earth would be
floating around in space likely to
collide with another object.
THE SUN
Earth is the only planet known to support life, thanks to factors like its atmosphere, climate, water abundance, and perfect distance from the Sun. These conditions allow for the sustenance of life as we know it, making Earth a unique and precious place in the universe. Explore the wonders that make our planet a haven for living organisms and marvel at the delicate balance that allows life to thrive.
