In this time the life in Earth

was not possible. And this fact,
leads us to the:

Conditions for the life on

Earth

Temperature (15C on the surface)

Light
PerfectDistance from the Sun(1UA).
Water in the three status.
Oxygen.
Existence of a magnetic field.

 The planet has two satellites.

Olympus Mons is the largest volcano in the

is ice!
Mars doesnt have a magnetic field.
The pictures taken of Mars were sent back
