Why is the diversity of living things in salt water greater than fresh water?

For one thing, there's lots more of it. There are many more environmental niches to be occupied in salt-water bodies, and importantly, they're all connected, making it easier for species to migrate and adapt to new habitats. Conversely, fresh-water habitats are often more isolated, confining species to a single habitat and decreasing the likelihood that they'll be able to migrate and adapt.

The diversity of living things in saltwater is generally greater than in freshwater due to a variety of factors. Saltwater covers a larger portion of the Earth's surface, providing a larger habitat for different species to thrive in. Additionally, saltwater environments tend to have more stable and constant conditions, which allows for a wider range of species to adapt and survive there. Finally, saltwater ecosystems often receive greater nutrient input, supporting a more diverse and abundant food web.

Is there a another planet that all living things can live?
There is no habitable planet besides Earth that all living things can survive on. If scientists found another planet with water humans could probably survive on other planets but we would need food supplies brought regularly. Plants survive on a certain type of environment, so unless we could create an environment on another planet exactly the same as where the plant came from it would be impossible. Animals are like humans, if they have food supplied regularly enough and a fresh water supply they could live on another planet.
