Earth's ability to maintain bodies of water is primarily due to its unique combination of factors, including its optimal distance from the Sun, which allows for a stable climate. The planet's atmosphere, rich in nitrogen and oxygen, helps regulate temperature and pressure, preventing water from evaporating into space. Additionally, Earth's gravitational pull keeps water retained in various forms—liquid, ice, and vapor—across its surface. The presence of geological features like mountains and basins further contributes to the retention of water in lakes, rivers, and oceans.
