This allows the Earth to sustain life? What characteristics distinguish it from other planets in our solar system?
The main thing is the land distance from the sun. This liquid water is possible. As condensation it dissolves almost all the CO2 and turns it into carbonate rocks. Venus had all the same things, but being too close to the sun condensed water ever. And if the CO2 remains in gaseous form to the atmosphere 90 times more dense than the land. Earth's atmosphere is just as dense at first. Land mass is also fair. It keeps the atmosphere. March also had a much denser atmosphere and liquid water, but too much light in the atmosphere escaped. Land massive core also generates more heat causing the earth to be inside melted. That, with the rotation land, which generates the magnetosphere protects Earth's atmosphere. Mars rotation, but not enough heat to keep the liquid base. So much of the magnetosphere. Venus is massive enough to molten interior, but no rotation. So that almost any magnetosphere there either. And so most of the water that once existed is now lost.
