I don't know about yours, but ours would be in BIG trouble! :-) (I know, Wikianswers wouldn't let you write it the way it made sense - those bastards! :-) Anyway, the first two reasons that come to mind why Nitrogen is vital to the health of our planet (and they are enough!) are: * If the atmosphere were all Oxygen, the first fire would be the last one, that is it would burn like crazy until everything was gone (ignoring second order effects like build-up of Carbon Dioxide), and * Plants depend on a Nitrogen Cycle for their fundamental existence - without Nitrogen, no plants (at least as we know them). Keep your fingers crossed!

What does the sun provide us with?

*Life* ...... because without the suns rays warming up the planet the whole of the planet wouldn't have any heat to warm up the world making it lifeless!!The sun is like the heart of the world ! without it we would die!!!


How does gravity help humans?

Gravity is one of a million things that is just right to keep our planet functioning. For instance without gravity our atmosphere would dissipate and everything living thing on the Earth would die. Without sufficient gravity our planet might look more like our moon. Gravitational interactions with our moon control the tides of Earth's oceans, another part of the puzzle that holds us together. Without the stability provided for our global environment by healthy oceans, our Planet would die.


What would you need to survie on another planet?

Since earth is the only planet we know that has life manyscientists go by what is found here on earth. So, you will need water, oxygen, heat, nitrogen ,and various other chemicals. In addition, some form of food to sustain life living on the planet.


Why is our planet the only planet to have life?

Our planet is the perfect distance from our sun to receive enough light to keep water in a liquid form, our atmosphere has a well balanced amount of Nitrogen, Oxygen, Carbon Dioxide and other gases to support life and trap heat within the planet. Our planet also has water, a very important 'ingredient' for life. It is also a 'rock' planet not a gas planet and has a strong enough gravitation pull to hold on to our atmosphere, without this gravity the gases in our atmosphere would drift into space. Which is why Mars's atmosphere contains a very little amount of Oxygen, it when into space over millions of years. All other planets we have seen in our galaxy do not have the requirements for life, they are either too hot, too cold, too toxic, etc. And the odds of a planet meeting these requirements are astronomical.

What would the world be like without air?

Without air, we would not be able to live, We would try to breathe in oxygen but there would be none there so we would shrivel up and die, just like in space, that's why astronauts wear space suits so they can breathe.


Is nitrogen important for survival?

without nitrogen our bodys would over oxygenate (get to much oxygen). nitrogen is important for plants, after all they breath in nitrogen and breath out oxygen.


What is nitrogen necessary for?

Nitrogen is necessary for life on earth. Without nitrogen, which makes up some 78% of the earth's atmosphere, we would be breathing in nearly pure oxygen and that would be fatal.

Will a planet without a moon have extreme tides?

No, a planet without a moon would not have extreme tides. Tides are primarily caused by the gravitational pull between a planet and its moon. Without a moon, there would be no significant tidal forces acting on the planet.
