Why is earth special?

Question

Why is earth special?

Answer 1

It's not really. It is very possible that there are other places with exactly the same atmosphere and system as Earth other places in the universe.

At the moment it is a little special, since it's the only one we know of! Although scientists have their suspicions about some planets we can't get photos of.

Answer 2

cuz i walk on it :P hehe jk its special cuz its the only planet known to have life i guess but i think its more special cuz i walk the ground

Answer 3

earth is special because it is the only planet know of life and...there are unique creatures like humans, and animals

Answer 4

it is the only place suitable for life

Answer 5

the earth is capable of supporting life because it can sustain an atmosphere that maintains stable temperature fluctuations, has hydrogen, oxygen (water), carbon, and other elements that are the backbone of life and was lucky enough to start life by algaes that then developed into oxygen producers to support more complex life forms.

although, we may not be able to say this at the current selfish use of resources and abuse of the atmosphere.

Answer 6

Earth has some very special properties that enabled intelligent life to appear there:

It is the right distance from the sun to allow liquid water to exist on its surface. Water is the universal solvent for life processes.

It is big enough to retain a thick atmosphere.

It has plate tectonic activity, which allows heat to escape from the mantle slowly, and recycles carbon dioxide back into the mantle, so preventing it building up in the atmosphere.

It has a large moon, which stabilises its axis of rotation. Without the moon Earth's axis would sometimes tip so far over that the northern and southern hemispheres would experience very extreme 6 month long summers and winters.

Answer 7

because the life came from the earth. and there is water in . and the water is the life

Answer 8

Our thinking that earth is special is based on our ignorance of not knowing of any other planet that supports life.

Answer 9

Because it has temperate climates that support liquid water and life.
