____________________________1) The Sun needs to survive long enough for the surrounding planet to
survive and develop life.
____________________________2) The “Goldilocks zone” is the region in the solar system where the
temperature received by the planets form the sun is too hot, disabling life to develop.
____________________________3) The Earth has the right temperature to keep water in liquid form.
This characteristic of Earth made it possible to nurture life.
___________________________ 4) Unlike other planets, the Earth is in the “Goldilocks zone” in the
solar system that made it possible to maintain conditions necessary to develop and support life.
___________________________ 5) Presence of excessive active volcanoes doesn’t necessarily affect the
possibility of life to exist.
___________________________ 6) Among the planets in the solar system, Earth’s distance from the
sun is just enough for it to maintain the temperature neither too hot nor too cold.
___________________________ 7) Scientists believed that the element Oxygen is the bass of life. It is
the reason why life on earth was able to exist.
__________________________ 10) Mercury and Venus were observed to absorb less amount of energy
from the sun making these planets too cold for life to exist and develop.
