(1) ______ is the only place in the universe that can support (2) ______.
Our planet has molten metallic (3) ______ which enables it to hold a strong and stable (4) ______ field.
This prevents stripping of the Earth's atmosphere by lethal cosmic rays and (5) ______ flares.
Answer (2)
Earth is the only planet that can support life due to its unique conditions. The molten metallic core generates a strong magnetic field that protects the atmosphere from harmful solar radiation. This protection is vital for the survival of diverse life forms found on our planet.

Let's complete each statement by choosing the appropriate word from the given list: magnetic, ozone layer, nitrogen, ultraviolet, solar, water, core, Earth, life, moon.
Earth is the only place in the universe that can support life .
The Earth is known to be the only planet within our solar system, and possibly the universe, where life is known to exist. It has the right conditions like atmosphere, temperature, and water to support living organisms.
Our planet has a molten metallic core which enables it to hold a strong and stable magnetic field.
The Earth's core is composed primarily of iron and nickel. This molten, metallic nature of the core is critical in generating Earth's magnetic field through the process of convection currents and the dynamo effect.
This magnetic field prevents the stripping of the Earth's atmosphere by lethal cosmic rays and solar flares.
The Earth's magnetic field acts as a protective shield against cosmic rays and solar flares, which are streams of charged particles emitted by the sun. Without this magnetic field, the atmosphere could be stripped away, making conditions hostile for life.
