Microgravity
Near vacuum
Extreme temperatures

Mars
Earth
Venus
Mercury
What conditions on Earth make it able to support life?
Water exists in all three states.
The atmosphere is mainly nitrogen and oxygen.
The average surface temperature is neither extremely hot nor cold.

Lifting the book from the floor to shelf 3.
Lifting the book from the floor to shelf 4.
Which type of planet or moon beyond the habitable zone would be most likely to support life?
An ice-covered planet with high interior temperatures
An ice-covered planet with cool interior temperatures
A dry planet with an atmosphere of carbon dioxide and oxygen

Why do astronauts in space stations exercise on equipment that relies on pistons and vacuum cylinders to provide resistance instead of using traditional weights?
The effectiveness of traditional weights varies with the spacecraft's orbit.
Traditional weights depend on gravity for resistance during exercise.
Traditional weights take up too much room in a spacecraft.
Traditional weights add too much weight to a spacecraft.
