    The document discusses the key properties that make Earth uniquely able to support life. It identifies six main characteristics: [1] Oxygen in the atmosphere produced by plants, [2] Water that can exist as liquid on the surface, [3] Sunlight that provides energy, [4] A protective atmosphere including the ozone layer, [5] A temperature range allowing for liquid water due to Earth's distance from the Sun, and [6] Gravity holding organisms to the surface. These conditions have allowed life to thrive on Earth. The document questions whether other planets could also support habitable conditions.

    PLANET EARTH and
    ITS PROPERTIES TO SUPPORT LIFE

    Recognize the uniqueness of Earth being the only planet in


    the Solar System with properties necessary to support Life
    What is common among the
    choices made by Goldilocks?
    Earth is unique in the Solar System as being the only planet
    which is able to support life in all its forms. There are many
    reasons why this happens.

    Some characteristics that make a planet


    habitable for humans are oxygen, water,
    sunlight, protective atmosphere, gravity, and
    temperature.

    Essential Question-
    What are the characteristics that make a planet habitable for
    humans? What conditions need to exist in order for life to
    survive?
    Oxygen is a key ingredient to life.
    Oxygen is constantly put
    All human beings breathe oxygen.
    into the atmosphere by
    plants and trees.

    Earth has a
    breathable
    atmosphere.
    Water on Earth can be found anywhere, in its three states. It
    can be frozen, taking the form
    of ice. It can be liquid, seen in
    seas and oceans and lakes.
    No other planet has liquid water.

    Water is essential for life –


    our bodies are 50-70% water.
    Water can transport nutrients, absorb heat and regulate
    body temperature.
    Sunlight is very important. Heat, light, and energy
    all come from the sun. Trees and plants need the
    Sun to produce oxygen through a process called
    photosynthesis. We also need sunlight to grow our
    food - crops and animals.
    Reason 4: Protective Atmosphere

    The ozone
    is the layer
    around the
    The earth that
    protective screens out
    atmospher harmful
    e around radiation.
    the earth is
    needed to
    for the
    survival of
    humans.
    Reason Five: The Sun
    If there was no Sun, there would be no life on Earth. Earth
    would not exist.

    Temperature

    Because of Earth's ideal distance from the


    Sun, it receives the perfect amount of heat
    and light to support life. Earth is the only
    planet with the right temperature range
    for there to be liquid water
    Reason Six:

    Gravity is what holds


    us down to the
    planet, without it we
    would fly out into
    space.

    Too little
    gravity
    Too much gravity tires
    results in
    muscles, breaks bones
    weaker and would require a lot
    bones and more energy to move.
    muscles.
    Nutrients
    • Used to build and maintain an organisms body
    MAGNETIC FIELD

    • A planet requires a
    rapidly rotating magnetic
    filed to protect it from
    flares from nearby stars
    and from harmful
    radiation
    Is there a possibility that
    there are OTHER
    PLANETS are habitable
    aside from Earth?
