Why is the mass of Earth important for life?
◦ If Earth had more or less mass, the atmosphere would be very different with either too much ammonia and methane or too little oxygen and water.
◦ If Earth had more or less mass, it would not have plate tectonics and would be covered entirely by water.
◦ If Earth's mass were greater, we would be bombarded by meteorites and if it were smaller, we would not be able to hold the moon in orbit.
◦ If Earth's mass were significantly different, we would be bombarded by cosmic rays that would strip away our atmosphere.
