    The document discusses the characteristics that make Earth suitable for life, including its temperature range that allows liquid water, an atmosphere containing gases like nitrogen and oxygen, steady energy from the sun for photosynthesis, and nutrients transported through water and volcanic activity. Key factors are Earth's distance from the sun resulting in moderate temperatures, presence of water, and composition of an atmosphere that protects from radiation while trapping heat. The document examines why Earth has conditions that are just right to support life.

    Existence of

    Life
    Class Notes
    Goldilocks & the 3 bears
    ○ Remember the story of Goldilocks & the 3
    bears.
    ○ Think about what the words “just right”
    meant.
    ○ What are some conditions
    that are “just right” on Earth
    to allow life to exist?
    Cornell Notes
    Title: Existence of Life

    Topic/Objective: TEKS 7.9A


    Analyze the characteristics of objects in the
    Solar System that allow life to exist.

    Essential Question 1: What characteristics


    are needed for life to exist?
    Just Right….
    ○A habitable planet has abiotic factors
    (non-living) and characteristics that are
    just right for allowing life to exist.
    ○ Earth is the only known planet at this time.
    What makes Earth “just right”?
    ○ Draw and label a diagram of the planets going across
    your paper in order with the sun on the left.

    Sun Mercury Venus Earth Mars Jupiter Saturn Uranus Neptune

    Earth is in just the right location for life to exist (not too hot, not too cold)!
    Characteristics that Allow Life to Exist:
    1. Temperature
    ○ Life is limited to a temperature range of
    -15°C to 115°C.
    ○ Because of its distance from the sun,
    Earth has a temperature range of 0°C
    to100°C, which allows life to exist.
    ○ The length of day and night also
    contribute to temperatures that can
    sustain life.
    2. Presence of Liquid Water
    ○ Earth’s temperature range allows water to
    exist in liquid form.
    ○ 0°C is the freezing point of water and
    100°C is the boiling point of water.
    ○ Water is regularly available.
    ○ Landforms allow water to run from high to
    low elevations and replenish as the
    seasons change.
    3. Composition of Atmosphere
    ○ The Earth’s atmosphere thickness traps heat & protects it
    from the Sun’s harmful UV radiation.
    ○ It also protects it from small to medium sized meteorites.
    ○ It contains gases including nitrogen, oxygen, argon, &
    carbon dioxide. (NOArCo2)
    4. Energy Source
    ○ With a steady input of either light or chemical energy
    from the sun, cells can perform the chemical
    reactions necessary for life (photosynthesis).
    ○ These give us food sources including plants and
    animals.
    5. Nutrients
    ○ All solid planets and moons have the same general
    chemical makeup so nutrients are present.
    ○ Planets with a water cycle or volcanic activity can
    transport and replenish the chemicals required by living
    organisms (vitamins).
    Essential Question 2:
    Why is Earth the perfect location for life to exist?

    ○The temperature is not too hot and not too cold


    (length of day and night)
    ○Water can exist in liquid form, many sources available
    ○Atmosphere has needed gases for living things
    ○Sun provides energy so plant cells can carry out
    photosynthesis
    ○Earth has nutrients necessary for life to exist
    Review Questions
    1. What characteristics are needed for life
    to exist?

    2. Why is Earth the perfect place for life to


    exist?
