| LIFE Earth is the only
planet we know of that contains life. Earth is ideal for life to exist because of
its rich supply of water and oxygen. If the Earth were much closer to the sun, the
water would boil away. If Earth were farther away from the sun, the water would
freeze. Earth's thick
atmosphere also helps support life by regulating the climate. There are millions of
life forms on Earth, from bacteria to plants to humans.
