    EARTH As far as science knows the planet earth is unique in the entire universe. Certainly this is true in our own solar system. Earth is far better suited for life than any other planet‚ yet even here most of the environments are too hot‚ too cold‚ too far underground or too far above ground to support much life. In the many thousands of miles of changing environments from the center of the earth to the edge of its atmosphere‚ there are only a few meters of habitable environment for most life forms
