How does gravity support life on Earth?

by forcing Earth to continuously spin on its axis, which contributes to day and night

by causing changes in the distance between Earth and the sun, which contributes to the seasons

by keeping water and gases in the atmosphere close to Earth’s surface, which contributes to life processes
