Outer space has played a pivotal role in shaping life on Earth. Meteorite impacts, such as the one that occurred 66 million years ago, have caused mass extinctions and paved the way for new species to emerge. The Earth's atmosphere, which blocks harmful radiation from space, was formed through volcanic activity and interactions with the solar wind. The gravitational pull of the Moon stabilizes Earth's rotational axis, preventing drastic climate changes, while its tides promote the diversity of marine life. Additionally, the study of outer space has expanded our understanding of the origins of life and inspired technological advancements that have improved life on Earth.
