  1. Guided Notes about the Characteristics of the Earth

  2. Earth is the third planet from the Sun.

  3. 2. Earth’s distance from the Sun and its nearly circular orbit allow water to exist on its surface in all three states: solid, liquid, and gas.

  4. 3. Two factors have allowed for the development and existence of life on Earth: a vast abundance of liquid water and our planet’s moderately dense atmosphere.

  5. 4. The earth’s seasons are created by the tilt in the Earth’s axis. The wobble in the Earth’s axis is called precession. The cycle of precession takes 26,000 years.

  6. 5. The sideways force that causes precession comes from the gravitational force of both the Moon and the Sun on the Earth.
