The most important factor of all is that Jupiter stops the Earth from being hit by asteroids, being about 317 times larger than Earth, so it hits Jupiter first (when it is at the right stage of its orbit).

∙ 11y agoMercury's Advantages: It has a magnetic field which deflects the solar wind about 1000 kilometers from the surface. It may be more than enough to protect humans. Mercury's gravity is about 38% of the Earth's. Scientists consider over 33% to be acceptable for humans, Mercury is one of the few worlds habitable in long term. Mercury gets a lot of solar energy because it is so close to the Sun. Since a day on Mercury is about 58 and a half Earth days, Mercury could benefit from long periods of sunlight. Solar panels could be constructed and future communities could use sun light as power.
