Earth's Early Conditions Quiz

Some features include the magnetic field (magnetosphere), axis of rotation creating seasons and days, rotation speed, mass preventing gases from escaping, and the distance from the sun (Goldilocks zone).

The magnetic field deflects harmful solar radiation, protecting the Earth's surface and atmosphere.

The axis of rotation creates seasons and days, while the rotation speed (24-hour period) helps prevent temperature extremes on the planet.

<p>The distance from the sun is important because being in the 'Goldilocks zone' allows for the presence of liquid water, which is essential for life as we know it.</p> Signup and view all the answers
