which of the aforementioned unique characteristic of earth do you like the most and why?
Answers
Answer:
Explanation:
The Earth rotates on its axis at a constant tilt.
Earths rotation on its axis at a constant tilt provides changes in season in the different part of the country. This resulted to the distribution of the heat of the sun from northern hemisphere and to southern hemisphere. Making areas with hot temperature may experience rainy season in a year. This will help production of crops or food supply and water supply available for living organism.
If the Earth's rotation is not tilted, then both the northern hemisphere and southern hemisphere will be covered with thick ice sheet. The equatorial region or near the equatorial region will experience tremendous warm temperature. Making our life on Earth not ideal for living.
The coincidences that needed to happen to make life possible make earth special.
All the things that make earth different are all actually just contributors to the fact that it can sustain life, these factors are-
presence of the sun, stable and better energy source for multicellular life, no significant gamma and xray output, also its solar winds make boundary of solar system protecting against cosmic rays from outside
appropriate distance from sun
presence of carbon oxygen nitrogen and essential elements for life
abundance of liquid water bcos of necessary amounts of greenhouse gases to keep earth warm enough
presence of atmosphere with nitrogen abundance otherwise fires would be very difficult to stop
presence of massive planet Jupiter in solar system bcos it attracts most of the asteroids towards itself and away from earth
hot enough core for the presence of magnetic poles to attract solar particles from solar winds away from most earth towards poles
tilt of the earth and rotation and revolution making seasons and thus almost all area on earth is habitable
moon to stabilise the tilt of earth’s axis, this unstability could wreak havoc
the coming of humans and development in the best time possible in the glacial period which began at the end of an ice age
All these are also accompanied by other cosmic coincidences to make life possible on earth, like water doesn’t freeze from bottom to top, but ice freezes on top and thus preventing any more loss of heat from water as the ice acts as a blanket over the water body or else all life would be wiped out during ice age.
Even after all these coincidences to support life scientists do not believe in the fine tuning argument for the existence of god, and I don’t either, because no matter how improbable it was, if life actually just began spontaneously it would still make arguments of fine tuning just because it was too small a probability to come into existence
