- If less: orbital obliquity changes would cause climatic instabilities
                 Magnetic Field;
                 - If stronger: electromagnetic storms would be too severe
                 - If weaker: inadequate protection from hard stellar radiation


                 Albedo (Ratio of Reflected light to total amount falling on sur-
              face);
                 - If greater: runaway ice age would develop
                 - If less: runaway greenhouse effect would develop


                 Oxygen to nitrogen ratio in the atmosphere;
                 - if larger: advanced life functions would proceed too quickly
