..."the air would be black"; if we saw light absorbed in the infra-red: there all kinds of invisible gases in the atmosphere, as a result of our technology.

What "Green House Gases" means to life on earth. Well worth watching.

...i'll just throw this in here,

https://www.terradaily.com/reports/Air_ ... t_999.html

...is air pollution a greater killer than COVID? Indeed, but it is/has been ignored for so long because unlike COVID's immediate threat to society, we suffer its consequences seemingly instead as Individuals alone.

The short term thinking of plunder, to pollute and to exploit the air, water, and soil of this planet (never mind the living things) has had many results, some we may say are quite positive. But, there is always a price to pay. Life on earth as we know it is changing, unnaturally. And we delude ourselves if we deny for "progress", its cost. I am hopeful on the other hand because, as survivors, our species excel (and we are a social animal).

This is veru interesting. It has been established that astronouhts lose muscle in space despite the fact that they exercise.

I knew the importance of gravity in the formation of planets and life as well as continuation of life on earth as if there was no gravity we would not be able to walk on earth, but did not realise gravity even affects the way the body helps keep muscles.

This should not be a surprise as force on the body of other kind like using bow and arrow has been establish to build muscle on the arm pulling the string. Not just the muscle by the way, aslo bones too.

The designer put all the right ingredients in a perfect balance for life to exist... all of which are vital.

If you take away gravity we will die gradually, if you take away the sun we will die even faster, if you take away water we’ll die within a week, and if you take away oxygen we will die instantly.

You just turned God from inconceivable to conceivable. I imply to you there's no designer, there is absolute randomness in the universe. If there was a designer he wouldn't create trillions of useless rocky planets...
Question is can randomness create something as complex as life? The answer is yes. Conditions just happened to be right, for this to happen through a series of random chemistry. Look at the similarity of all animals, one head, 2 eyes, one mouth, 2 ears, 4 legs etc. They all originate from the same micro-organism.

There is a few things you have not considered.
1. If life is in a perfect baklance to exist how come 95% of living organisms on earth have gone extinct.
2. Life on earth does not just depend on the sun, there is life in the oceans that live in total darkness not dependent on the sun.
3. If you take away gravity we will not die gradually, there will be no lofe on earth, it will float away into space and so will the air that we breathe and water that we drink. Without gravity you will not survive more than a few minutes.

But it is incredible that in space with everything we need at our disposal and because there is no gravity humans waste muscle. You would think without gravity the heart would find it easier to send blood around the body.
