Earth, being the third planet from the sun is unique in the universe  because it is currently the only planet known to support life. Earth's distance from the sun is really one of  the key reasons why it is has widespread  life.Earth occupies what scientists sometimes call the Goldilocks zone. Its distance from the sun means its neither too hot nor too cold to support liquid water. Water is thought to be a key ingredient for life. The energy from the sun in just the right intensity and the availability of water on the earth make it possible for life to thrive on earth. Plants use both these resources for photosynthesis and make nutrients that are available to support the life of animals on the earth.
