Question

organisms can live on earth because of earths location in the solar system. how does earths distance from the sun most affect earths water and enable life to exist? it permits liquid water. it allows water to freeze. it changes waters specific gravity. it allows water to be salty or fresh.

Explanation:

Earth's distance from the Sun places it in the habitable zone, where temperatures are suitable for water to exist in its liquid state, which is crucial for life. Freezing occurs at too - low temperatures (closer to outer planets), specific gravity is a property not directly affected by distance from the Sun, and the salinity of water is related to geological and hydrological processes rather than distance from the Sun.

Answer:

It permits liquid water.
