The temperature at and near the surface is greater than 0° Celsius (freezing point of pure water), and lower than 100° Celsius (boiling point of pure water). The atmospheric pressure is high enough to maintain the effective boiling point below the maximum surface temperature (about 67° Celsius), up to an altitude of at least 35,000 feet. There is also a volume of water far greater than the water vapor capacity of the atmosphere at average temperatures.

Could water exist as a liquid on Earth if it did not have an atmosphere?

Water could exist as a liquid on Earth without an atmosphere in specific conditions where the temperature and pressure allow for liquid water to form. However, without an atmosphere, these conditions would be less stable and water would be more likely to evaporate or freeze quickly due to the lack of atmospheric pressure and insulation.

What two characteristics of earth allow liquid water to exist?

Earth's moderate temperature range and its atmosphere with a stable pressure both contribute to the existence of liquid water on its surface. The temperature range allows for liquid water by maintaining conditions suitable for it to remain in its liquid state, while the atmosphere helps to stabilize those conditions by preventing water from evaporating into space.


What does water exist on earth?

Water can exist in three states, liquid, vapor and as a solid. On the earth, it exists in all three states.


Why does the distance between the earth and sun matter?

Earth is just the right distance from the sun, receiving just enough energy to allow liquid water to exist on the planets surface. If earth were a little further away, then the water would be frozen as ice, while much closer and the water would boil away as water vapour. Liquid water is essential for allowing life to exist.
