Explanation / Answer

Earth would sustain an equally thick environment since it has sufficient gravity and a protective magnetic field.

If earth were farther away solar insolations would be little causing temperature to be cooler.

In scenerio 2, the internal heat of earth will dissipate slowly resulting in a liquid core.

That type of core results in a higher magnetic fieild that would do more to protect life here.

Compaing the two, Scenerio 2 is more likely to be favorable to life than scenerio 1.
