Unlike the hot, rocky planets closer to the Sun or the cold, gas giants further out, Earth has the right conditions to support the life as we know it. Our atmosphere, a layer of gases surrounding the planet, acts like a giant blanket, trapping heat from the
Sun and keeping the temperature within a range suitable for liquid water to exist. Water is essential for life, and Earth has a vast amount of it in liquid form on its surface – oceans, lakes, and rivers. Earth is also the only planet known to have plate tectonics. This process involves giants slabs of rock, called tectonic plates, slowly moving around the planet’s surface. The movement of these plates creates mountains, volcanoes, and earthquakes, but it also plays a crucial role in recycling nutrients and maintaining a stable climate. Another key factor for life is Earth’s magnetic field. This invisible shield protects us from harmful radiation coming from the Sun and other stars. Without this shield, life on Earth would be constantly bombarded by radiation, making it difficult, if not impossible, for life to exist. Question 27. What makes Earth unique in our solar system? A. It’s the biggest planet. B. It’s made entirely of water. C. It’s the only planet with moons. D. It has the right conditions for life. Question 28. What is the main function of Earth’s atmosphere? A. To create wind B. To make the sky blue C. To trap heat from the Sun D. To provide oxygen for breathing Question 29. What is an important consequence of plate tectonics on Earth? A. It creates beautiful landscapes. B. It helps maintain a stable climate. C. It makes the planet spin faster. D. It allows humans to build tall buildings. Question 30.
