multiple conditions that are necessary for they’re to be life on Earth such as the ones listed below: * Distance away from the Sun: This controls the amount of insolation on Earth, so therefor the temperature and the presence of liquid water (the Earth is 150’000’000 km away from the Sun). Another factor that is determined by the distance away from the sun is the length of the year; if a planet takes 30,687 Earth days for a year to pass (like Uranus) it will have an effect on how long the
