I would think not. Mercury is most likely not habitable but there is no straight, exact evidence to prove it otherwise. Mercury is much to hot for life or any organism to live on this planet and because of the failure to provide an atmosphere, Mercury gets hit with asteroids and other space particals almost every day. This would provide a dangerous living environment for people and for living organisms.

I hope my answer helped!!

Certainly not for us. Jupiter doesn't even have a surface where you can stand on - it is simply a gas giant. The atmosphere contains mainly methane and ammonia - toxic, for us.

You might imagine that certain beings adapted to the quite different conditions on that planet, but for now, that is Science Fiction - no life has been found outside of planet Earth now; on Jupiter or elsewhere.

Only one that we know of ... ours.

Of the planets that we do know of (our solar system AND extra-solar) none are habitable (by Earth life).

But, the probability that there are at least a few other habitable planets in our galaxy is excellent.

If you happen to be immune to Sulfuric Acid, yes it is perfectly liveable.

Also there's the lack of oxygen, the enormous atmospheric pressure and

the temperature of about 460 degrees Celsius.

Yes and that planet is Gliese 581 D. 20 light years away in the constellation Libra. founded by the Geneva OBSERVATORY. Could be a "Waterworld"

Yes.

Inhabitable means capable of supporting life. Uninhabitable means incapable of supporting life. Since we are alive on Earth, it must be inhabitable.

Some potentially could be, but we don't know enough about the characteristics of any so far.

Non of the planets in our solar system are habitable. There may be planets in other solar systems that are habitable but nobody knows this for sure

Is there a new planet that's habitable?

As of (2011) no planets have been observed that are habitable. Some MIGHT be, but until detailed research is done on the actual conditions, it cannot be said a planet is habitable.


How many planets are habital?

Other than Earth, no planets have been confirmed to be habitable. We do know of planets in other star systems upon which liquid water could theoretically exist but we can't measure the composition of the planets atmospheres therefore we can't know for certain whether or not they are habitable.


How many planets can you live on?

So far we know of only one planet that is habitable.


Do other planets have wind like earth?

Yes, but not all. Some planets either evolved without an atmosphere or had their atmosphere decimated by solar wind or gamma-ray bursts. If you are asking are there other habitable planets in the universe - then absolutely. We've not discovered them yet, but there are probably billions, if not trillions of habitable planets elsehwere in the universe, waiting to be discovered.


How many planets of the solar system are at Stargate?

The only planet from our solar system that has been mentioned in the Stargate series is Earth. Other planets do not have stargates, since from the beginning the planets are not habitable.


Can a blue sun support habitable planets?

If they have the perfect distance like super far away lol =)


Why is there no life on any other planets?

This is because it is highly unlikely that the exact circumstances needed to form life will occur. It happened to occur on earth, and that is why it has life. It is theoretically possible for more planets to have life on them. Adding to your answer. Earth is very lucky because it in the habitable zone which means it not too close to the sun and its not too far away. A planet has to be in the habitable to sustain liquid on its surface. They suspect there might be life(single celled) on mars because it is close to the habitable zone. Astronomers have discovered other planets that are in the habitable zone but haven't yet found other life forms.


Is the earth the only habitable planet?

For us humans and our animal companions, it is the only habitable planet known to us at the present time. There is a possibility that there are other planets within the Universe that we could inhabit if we could get to them, but the Universe is massive and we currently know very little about the planets within it.


Earth is one of the planets that orbit the sun?

Yes, it is the third nearest and the most habitable zone in the solar system.


How are the inner and outer planets diffrerent?

the inner planets have a moltin core and could be inhabited the outer planets are cold and freezing and totally not habitable unless you like freezing to death thats the diffrence ur welcome


What planets in the solar system are not habitable?

Except earth all of them Life could have been on other planets and died out but we won't find that out for a while maybe in another decade hopefully


How can you humans find out if a place might support life?

If We are talking about planets, That planet need to me in what they called Habitable Zone What Is a Habitable Zone A Habitable Zone is the distance between a Star (Sun) and a planet, in which a planet like Earth can maintain liquid (water) and a distance which can allow water not to freeze or evaporates.
