5 What has Earths atmosphere got that no other planet has that enables us to live?

Earth's atmosphere contain significant amounts of oxygen, no other planet in the solar system has it - it may well be that other planets in the galaxy do have oxygen. It's not just oxygen though; if the atmosphere was pure oxygen it would kill us very quickly. It's the combination of gases; oxygen, nitrogen, hydrogen, etc, etc know as AIR, together with its pressure of around 15 psi that enables us to live here on earth.


Can you make air on Mars?

That depends on what the bubble is made out of. If you are talking about a soap bubble, no. There is only a virtual atmosphere on Mars - just a bit of this and that floating around. The pressure of just about any amount of gas applied to blow a soap bubble would burst it immediately. The soap film is only strong enough to make a bubble in a situation where there is some amount of atmosphere around it. On Earth, we have the pressure of the atmosphere all around us under normal circumstances. On Mars, forget it. Of course, if you constructed a pressure dome there, you could maintain the same sort of atmospheric pressure that exists naturally on Earth.


Can you live without the sun or moon?

No. It would be impossible. The moon doesn't matter that much but the sun does. The sun is what keeps plants alive which gives us oxygen. The sun also gives us warmth and keeps us from freezing to death. I hope this helps. Give me a trust point please if it does!

no, it is not strong enough to hold back a meteorite. It protects us from the suns deadly rays though. The atmosphere also gives us oxygen to breath, but if a meteorite the size of the earth came crashing down on us, then we would all be dead and the Earth would be destroyed.
