Earth is in the sun's habitable zone, which means that water can exist as a ____. If it were too close, increased heat would cause the water to ____, and too far away would cause the water to ____.
Understand the Problem
The question is asking about the states of water in relation to Earth's position in the solar system, specifically how proximity to the sun affects water's state. It provides a fill-in-the-blank format with multiple choices related to physical states of water.
Answer
liquid, boil, freeze
The final answer is liquid, boil, freeze.
Answer for screen readers
The final answer is liquid, boil, freeze.
More Information
In the Sun's habitable zone, water can exist as a liquid. Too close to the Sun, water would boil; too far, it would freeze.
Tips
Make sure each condition (too close, habitable, too far) reflects the correct state of water (boiling, liquid, freezing).
