-- Earth is one planet is a "Solar System", that consists of everything
that's gravitationally hooked to the Sun ... one star.  This system contains
7 other other significant planets, more than 100 of their moons, and huge
numbers of comets, asteroids, dwarf planets, and countless bodies in a
giant shell that are so small and so far away that we can only see a few
of them so far.  Every one of these items orbits the sun.  The ones that
are farthest out may take thousands of years to complete one orbit.

That's the 'kingdom' of ONE star ... the sun.

-- It's very likely that there are similar gatherings of different-size objects
around MOST stars ... maybe ALL stars.  Those objects are tremendously
difficult for us to see.  We're just beginning to be able to see the most massive
planets that go with other stars, and already, something like a thousand of them
have been discovered.  We know that they're there, but we can't see things like
their actual size or surface markings yet.

-- Stars are clumped in gatherings of several billion, called 'galaxies'. 
Our sun is one of an estimated 300 to 400 billion stars in one galaxy,
which we call the "Milky Way Galaxy".

-- Astronomers estimate that there are billions of other galaxies.

So there are billions of billions of other stars, and most of them may
have several planets.

That's an awful lot of OTHER physical systems out there, that contain
other planets and moons.

Having trouble wrapping your mind around all of that ?  Don't worry,
you're not the only one.  It's easy for us to talk about it, but impossible
for our minds to actually understand it.  It's just too big.

list the 3 main conditions on early earth that allowed development of life, and explain how each contributed to that development

The 3 main conditions on early earth that allowed development of life,

What we can do is talk about some things that all living things on Earth share: They're carbon-based; they require water; they use energy. Perhaps most important for survival, they can grow or reproduce in some way.

<h3>What environmental factors on the early Earth permitted life to exist?</h3>

Early Hadean Earth's primary source of nutrients would have been the surface rocks, which were abundant in rarer elements like potassium and uranium as well as iron and phosphorus. Another important prerequisite is an abundance of gases that comprise substances like ammonia and methane.

<h3>The earth was extremely heated for what three reasons?</h3>

In the deep earth, heat is primarily produced by three different processes: (1) heat that was present during the planet's formation and accretion and has not yet been lost; (2) frictional heating brought on by the planet's denser core material sinking to its center; and (3) heat produced by the radioactive decay of elements.

<h3>What circumstances existed on the early Earth?</h3>

The original atmosphere probably had little oxygen and was heavy with water vapor as well as gases produced during volcanic eruptions such nitrogen and its oxides, carbon dioxide, methane, ammonia, and hydrogen. Oceans formed as Earth cooled, and a significant amount of hydrogen escaped into space.

<h3>What are the core's inner three facts?</h3>

Inner Core The inner core is a hot, heavy, and mostly iron ball. It has a 1,220 kilometer circumference (758 miles). About 5,200° Celsius (9,392° F) is the temperature inside the core. Nearly 3.6 million atmospheres are present (atm).
