Decribe how Earth's placement in the solar system is favorable to sustain life?
Question:
Answer:
The biggest issue for life (at least 'life as we know it') to arise is the existence of liquid water, so the distance from the sun is the main factor. The size of the planet and the kind of atmosphere it has are also important. See the link below for a good start.
our distance from the sun regualtes gravity, rotation, and temperature. so the weight we feel and enough gravitational pull to keep oxygen in the atmosphere, the temp we live at, and the length of day. all of these play a major role in supporting life on our planet.
