They are major parts of earth, and it wouldn't be the same without it. vs They are major parts of earth and it wouldn't be the same without it.

Both phrases are correct, but they are used in different contexts. The first phrase uses a comma before 'and' to separate two independent clauses, while the second phrase does not use a comma because it is a compound sentence with a single subject. The choice between using a comma before 'and' depends on whether the clauses are independent or part of a compound sentence.
