 1. Temperature
DISTANCE OF
EARTH FROM
THE SUN Not too hot, not too cold

0°C to100°C
 Earth’s
temperature range
allows water to
exist in liquid form.

0°C is the freezing point of water and 100°C is

the boiling point of water. Water is regularly
available in different forms compared to other
planets.
 It provides significant insulation or
shielding from the sun and impact of
small to medium size meteorites.
Greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide
(CO2) and methane (CH4) trap heat and
protects our planet from freezing.
Moreover, ozone (O3) layer shields the
Earth’s surface from harmful UV radiation.
Atmosphere also provides chemicals
needed for life, such as nitrogen and
carbon dioxide.

• The size of the planet and its distance from the sun affects its ability
to hold significant amount of atmosphere. Earth has a right size and
distance from the sun that permits it to have a right amount of
atmosphere. The presence of gravity also helps in sustaining its
atmosphere.
 Light or chemical energy from
the Sun.

It’s all about

Photosynthesis
Planets with a water cycle or volcanic
activity can transport and replenish
the chemicals required by living
organisms (vitamins).
