B. Learning Guide Questions:

1. In what a property does Earth is almost similar to Venus? Mars? both
planets?
______________________________________________________________________________

______________________________________________________________________________
2. What are the notable differences between Earth and Venus? Earth and
Mars?
It has 81% the mass of Earth, while Mars only has 10% the mass of
Earth. The climates of Mars and Venus are very different, and very
different from Earth as well. ... This temperature difference comes
from the fact that Venus is closer to the Sun, but also because it has
a thick atmosphere of heat trapping carbon dioxide.
3. Based on the fact sheet above, what do you think are the physical and
properties
of Earth makes it unique and habitable compared to Venus and Mars?
The Earth is remarkable for its precisely-tuned amount of water, not too
much to cover the mountains, and not so little that it's a dry desert, as are
Mars and Venus, our 'sister' planets," he said. Earth's water is also special
in that it has remained liquid for so long.

BRIEF INTRODUCTION
Earth is also often called as the “Blue Marble” because of it looks like a blue globe
encircled by swirling white clouds as seen from the outer space. As of today, Earth is
the only planet in the Solar System that is habitable or where living things can exist
although scientists are now looking at exoplanets that are potentially habitable. Are
you familiar with the story of Goldilocks and the three bears? Scientists coined the
term Goldilocks zone (habitable or life zone) for the regions in the space where a
planet is just in the right distance from its home star (usually a low-mass star) so that
its surface is neither too hot nor too cold. The term Goldilocks is related to the story of
“Goldilocks and the Three Bears.” It is because of how a little girl named Goldilocks,
who was lost in the woods and entered the house of the three bears, liked everything
that is just right. She chose the porridge that is not too hot or too cold, the bed that is
not too hard or too soft, and so on. Just like Goldilocks’ choices, our planet – Earth has
factors necessary for life in just the right amount. Earth is so terrific that it is the only

planet known in the Solar System that can support life but the question is, “What
makes Earth unique among other planets?” and “What are the factors to consider a
habitable planet?”
Profile of the Planets

Level I Institutionally Accredited Planet 1 (closest the star)
• Mass: 1.5 (Earth = 1) ; Tectonics: Active volcanoes and seismic activity detected
• Atmosphere: CO2, N, and H20 ; Average Temperature: 651 °Celsius
• Description: Thick clouds surround the planet. No surface is visible through the
clouds.
Planet 2
• Mass: 0.5 ; Tectonics: No activity detected.
• Atmosphere: Thin CO2 atmosphere detected. ; Average Temperature: 10 °Celsius
• Description: Polar ice caps, dry riverbeds, and many craters can be seen from orbit.
Planet 3
• Mass: 1
• Tectonics: Active volcanoes and seismic activity detected.
• Atmosphere: CO2, H20 ; Temperature: 30 °Celsius
• Description: Liquid water oceans cover much of the surface. Volcanic island chains
make up most of the dry land.
Planet 4
• Mass: 1.5
• Tectonics: Active volcanoes and seismic activity detected.
• Atmosphere: N, O2, and ozone layer ; Average Temperature: 2 °Celsius • Description:
Cold oceans, covered with ice along much of the globe. Some open water around
equator.
Planet 5
• Gas Giant with one large moon. Moon: Sulfur dioxide (SO2) atmosphere.
• Tectonics: Many volcanoes and hot springs on surface.
• Temperatures in hot spots can be up to 600 °C. Other spots away from volcanic heat
can get as low in temperature as 145 °C.
Planet 6
• Gas giant with four large, rocky satellites (moons).
• Moons have no appreciable atmosphere. Ice detectable on one.
Planet 7 (furthest from star)
• Gas giant with two large moons.
• Moon 1: Thick methane atmosphere with high enough pressure to keep a potential
methane ocean liquid underneath. Temperature: -200 °C
• Moon 2: Covered in water ice. Ice appears cracked and re-frozen in parts, indicating a
potential liquid ocean underneath. Surface temperature -100 °C.
REMEMBER
• Earth is:
o the third planet from the Sun and fifth largest planet in the Solar System
o a terrestrial planet located in the Goldilocks zone (habitable zone)
o it has unique physical and chemical characteristics compare to other neighboring
planets o the only habitable planet known in the Solar System
• Though Earth is the only known planet in the Solar System that is habitable,
scientists are now looking at possible habitable exoplanets (planets outside the Solar
System). A potentially habitable planet implies a terrestrial planet within the
circumstellar habitable zone and with conditions roughly comparable to those of Earth

Province of Laguna
and thus potentially favorable to Earth-like life. Factors that Makes the Planet
Habitable The right amount of the following factors makes the planet Habitable like
Earth.
1. Temperature - Influences how quickly atoms & molecules move
2. Water - Dissolves & transports chemicals within and to and from a
cell
3. Atmosphere - Traps heat, shields the surface from harmful radiation, and provides
chemicals needed for life, such as nitrogen and carbon dioxide.
4. Energy - Organisms use light or chemical energy to run their life processes.
5. Nutrients - Used to build and maintain an organism’s body.
6. Magnetic Field - a planet requires a rapidly rotating magnetic field to protect it

from flares from nearby stars and from harmful radiation

Scenario: A meteoroid has hit your spaceship! Luckily, you are passing through
an unknown System, which consists of a sun-like star surrounded by seven
planets, some of which have moons. Your ship has barely enough fuel and
guidance ability to allow you to select a nearby place to crash-land. Below are
profiles of each of the planets and moons in the unknown system. The
information is sketchy, but it's all your sensors had time to collect before going
off-line due to the damage caused by the meteoroid. Good luck!
1) What planet will you choose to crash-land? _____________________________________

2) Why did you choose this planet?
______________________________________________________________________________
