### 2. **Earth Is the Only Known Planet with Life**
So far, Earth is the only planet known to have life, with millions of plant and animal species, thanks to its perfect conditions of water, atmosphere, and temperature.

Earth’s iron core creates a magnetic field that surrounds the planet, protecting us from solar wind and allowing us to use compasses for navigation.
