Mars offers suitable gravity and raw materials for a colony. Mercury and Venus are too hot and the gas giants don't have livable surfaces or gravity. (Some of their moons may.)

The temperature on Mars during the summer is about 20° C to -40°C which suggests a survivable climate. In fact, at one time in the past Mars was much more hospitable to Earth-type life. There is likely a lot of water ice at the poles. And unlike asteroids and moons, there is room for lots of development.

Considering all the above points, one can say that a protective habitat is possible on Mars, but obviously one cannot live on Mars as easily as we do on Earth. The atmosphere is normally too thin to breathe and the pressure so low that blood would boil at body temperatures.

Colonies on the Moon and Mercury would essentially be in a vacuum, although like Mars there is likely a considerable amount of water ice (in deep craters on both bodies). also mars OS way to hot any other time apart from summer so it is a problem.

What planet have human landed on?

Human beings have only ever landed on one planet - the Earth. Humans have walked on the surface of the moon, but the moon is not considered a planet. We have also sent un-manned probes onto the surfaces of mercury, venus and mars, and we have sent orbital space craft to the other planets of our solar system.

Why humans prefer to live on a rocky planet?

This isn't a rocky planet-Mars, Venus and Mercury are rocky planets. This planet can only really be described as a watery planet. We aren't really given the choice of which planet we live on, this is the only one so far that can support 'advanced' life.


Could humans breathe on any other planet?

It would be difficult for humans to breathe on other planets as the atmospheres are very different from Earth's. For example, on Mars the atmosphere is mostly carbon dioxide with very little oxygen. Special equipment would be needed to survive on other planets.
