Nonog III has conditions that can support life as it is located in the habitable zone around its star where liquid water can exist, has a molten iron core which generates a magnetic field to protect any atmosphere, and a large moon that stabilizes its axial tilt. The other planets in the Nonog system are not capable of harboring life due to being too close or far from the star so their surfaces are either too hot or cold to support liquid water, or they lack protective magnetic fields and stable axial tilts.

2. Guide Questions:
1. Which planet has conditions that
can support life? Explain your
answer.
2. What made the other planets not
capable of harboring life?

3. Scenario: Your spaceship has been hit by a meteoroid!
Fortunately, you are going through the Nonog System,
which comprises a sun-like star and seven planets,
some of which have moons. Your ship has just enough
fuel and navigational capability to allow you to choose
a nearby crash landing spot. The profiles of each
planet and moon in the Nonog System are seen in
each station.

4. 1. Our location is far from many
hazards.

5. 2. Our Sun is a stable and
long-lasting star.

6. 3. We are just at the right
distance from the Sun.

7. 4. We have the right stuff
to host a dynamic core.

8. 5. We have a big moon to
stabilize our axial wobble.

9. 6. We have an ozone layer
to block harmful rays.
