- 2. Multiple ChoiceWhich contributes to Earth’s ability to sustain life?The atmosphere allows all of the sun’s radiation to enter due to Earth’s distance from the sun.The atmosphere prevents all space debris from reaching the surface due to the ozone layer.The atmosphere is extremely thin due to the temperatures of the sunThe atmosphere is breathable due to the unique mixture of gases
- 3. Multiple ChoiceHow does gravity support life on Earth?by forcing Earth to continuously spin on its axis, which contributes to day and nightby causing changes in the distance between Earth and the sun, which contributes to the seasonsby keeping water and gases in the atmosphere close to Earth’s surface, which contributes to life processesby preventing meteors and comets from hitting Earth’s surface, which protects living organisms from space fragments
- 4. Multiple ChoiceWhy does Earth have different seasons?because of the distance between Earth and the sunbecause of the speed of Earth as it rotates on its axisbecause of the amount of light blocked by the moon on its axisbecause of the tilt of Earth on its axis as it moves around the sun
