| Name three features of the atmosphere that support life on Earth. | It's transparent, offers protection/physical shield, perfect amount of oxygen (no toxic gases) |

| What do you think would happen to the habitability zone if the sun were much smaller? | It would shrink and we would freeze |
| If the earth orbited a smaller sun at its current distance, what would the earth be like? | Our days would be shorter and would freeze |
| What could happen if the earth were in the center of the galaxy or in one of its spiral arms? | Comet collisions, dangerous radiation |
