What is one reason that scientists are interested in studying other planets and objects in the solar system?

Science derives from an interest in, and curiosity about the universe in which we live. It has long been our experience that knowledge that is obtained out of pure curiosity, will very often prove to have unexpectedly important practical applications at some future date. So, we cannot really predict how useful knowledge about other planets or objects in the solar system will ultimately prove to be. It might be very useful indeed. For example, it is at least theoretically possible that at some future date, our observation of objects in the solar system will give us advance warning of some very dangerous impending collision of an object with the Earth, and it may be that by having advance warning, we will be able to send a mission to deflect the incoming object.

How can studying earth help scientists understand other planets?
Studying the earth helps scientists to understand other planets since the earth is part of the solar system. Scientists use the features of the earth to compare them with what other planets hold.
Why are scientists interested in studying meteorites?
so they can find out about the early solar system and how planets were formed
Which objects helps scientists discover how galaxies and planets are formed?

What is the main way that scientists determine which conditions can support life A. by studying life on other planets B. by studying other planets C. by studying life on Earth D. by running computer simulations?
C. Since Earth is the only planet that we know of with life on it, it is obviously the one that we study when it comes to the subject.
Why are scientists who are searching for life on other planets studying Archae bateria?
Archaebacteria are the oldest and most primitive forms of life on planet Earth. It is postulated that primitive life on other planets would be most likely to resemble Archaebacteria. In addition, Archaebacteria were the first life forms to exist on Earth, so studying them allows xenobiologists to postulate how life may come into being on other planets.
