The Earth remains at its perfect distance from the sun while it rotates around the sun at a speed of nearly 67,000 mph. And the Earth's rotation on its axis allows the entire surface of the earth to be properly warmed and cooled every day. Our moon is the right size and distance from the Earth. Water has not been found on any other planet, yet covers more than 70 percent of our earth's surface. Plants, animals and human beings consist mostly of water . . .
Water is a universal solvent.
Water is also chemically inert, not affecting the makeup of the substances it carries. Food, medicines and minerals are all absorbed and used by the body, while water remains as a neutral carrying agent. Water has a unique surface tension. This, combined with another property of water, allows water in plants to flow upward against gravity, bringing life-giving water and nutrients to the top of even the tallest trees. Water freezes from the top down and floats, allowing fish to live in the winter.
