Mars is slightly preferable to a space colony or a dome on the Moon or Mercury, because it has water and carbon dioxide for growing plants. But it does not receive nearly as much sunlight as Mercury. The alternative would be a floating colony within Venus's atmosphere (sealed habitats with Earth-normal pressure would float in the dense atmosphere).

Which planet in your solar system is most habitable in your solar system?

None of them you would die on all of them. Mars would probably be the closest to hospitable. Once it had rivers and thousands of years ago however now it is dry. There are some planets are hospitable but most of them are in other galaxys Earth is the only habitable planet.


Which Planets in our solar system is most habitable besides Earth?

there is a new discovery that one of the satarn's moon has all things needed for survival of humans expect oxygen.I mean we could all live on that with space suit it is the most habitabil planet in our solar system


Why do you think earth is the only planet in our solar system that supports life?

I don't think so. It is most probably the only planet to support life forms very similar to ours, but that does not imply that some other planet(s) don't have life forms of some other nature than ours.


Besides Earth which inner planet may have been most able to support life?

Many scientists believe that there may have been life on Mars, and some suggest that there might still be life frozen in Mars' ice caps. Mars seems to be the most hospitable planet in our solar system to life, other than the Earth.


What is the new planet discovered?

A new Earth like planet Kepler 22-b was discovered in 2009 but only recently confirmed as a planet. Its made big news as it is thought to be around 2.4 times the size to Earth and orbits a star that is similar to our own star (the sun) around 600 light years away. More importantly though, it is in the habitable zone, orbiting just the right distance from its star to allow for water to occur in liquid form - essential for life as we know it. There is a lot that we don't know about it as it is so far away, we don't even know what its atmosphere is like or even if it has one, which is also essential to life.

Why earth considered the most favored planets in solar system?

Earth is considered the most favored planet in the Solar System because it possesses the right conditions to support life, such as liquid water, a protective atmosphere, and a suitable distance from the sun. These factors make Earth a unique and habitable planet compared to the other planets in our solar system.


Is earth the only known planet with an atmosphere?

No. Many planets have atmospheres, but most are made of noxious gases, have to great an amount of pressure, or are to cold or hot to be habitable for humans.
