It wouldn't support humans, but some extremophile bacteria could probably live there just fine.

Why is earth inhabitable and other planets are not?

Earth is habitable because it has the right conditions to support life, such as a suitable atmosphere, liquid water, and a stable climate. Other planets may not be habitable due to extreme temperatures, lack of atmosphere, or high levels of radiation that make it difficult for life as we know it to survive.


What planet has a atmosphere with gases used by living things?

Earth is the only planet known to have an atmosphere rich in gases like oxygen and nitrogen, which are essential for supporting life as we know it. Other planets in our solar system have atmospheres with different compositions that would not support life as we know it.


What are the two planets in the solar system with no atmosphere?

The two planets in our solar system with little to no atmosphere are Mercury and Mars. Both planets have extremely thin atmospheres compared to Earth, with Mercury's atmosphere consisting mainly of oxygen, sodium, hydrogen, helium, and potassium, and Mars' atmosphere comprised primarily of carbon dioxide.


Which planets have a thin atmosphere or none at all?

Mercury and Mars. (Venus has a thick atmosphere, much thicker than Earth's.) (Titan, Saturn's largest moon, has an appreciable atmosphere, thicker than Earth's and is the only moon in our solar system to posses an atmosphere.) Mercury probably doesn't have (much of) an atmosphere because the solar wind would carry it away into space.


How would the sky appear in the absence of earths atmosphere?

Without Earth's atmosphere, the sky would appear black during the day, similar to outer space. Without the scattering and diffusion of sunlight caused by the atmosphere, the sky would not appear blue. At night, we would see the stars, planets, and other celestial objects more clearly without the atmosphere's distortion.

Why would we suffocate on the outer planets?

The outer planets does not have enough oxygen to sustain life, or they don't have an atmosphere at all.


Do any other planets have an atmosphere like earths and if they did could it support life?

At the moment, no planets are known to have conditions similar to Earth's for supporting life. If there planets similar to Earth, there would definitely be living organisms of some sort. On the other hand, there is slightly less chance of sentinent life such as our own species existing.


What other planets-other then earth-may support life?

Life probably does not exist on any of the known planets (except earth). But if life does exist on one of those planets, it would probably be on Mars. Venus is way too hot, Mercury does not have an atmosphere, and the other four planets are made up almost entirely of gas.


If people found a solar system that had a sun just like our sun and a planet was as far from the sun as earth is would that planet be able to support life?

Not much is known about life on other planets - and especially about planets around other solar system. To support life AS WE KNOW IT, the planet would also have to have a similar atmosphere, and availability of water, among other things.

If everyone had a footprint the size of the average US citizen it would take five planets to support everyone?

No, they would only need 1.2 planets.


Is Mars the only moon in the solar system with a substantial atmosphere?

Mars is a planet, not a moon. All of the terrestrial planets (Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mar) have atmospheres though none except Earth would support Earth's higher animal life. The gas planets (Saturn, Jupiter, etc.) don't have a surface so it's hard to figure out what an atmosphere on them is.


What In a scale model of the solar system objects would be the largest?

The sun, followed by the gas giant planets.

Do aliens attack humans?

Where in the solar sytem might scientists search for life and why?

Well, obviously, on planets. They would search life where they would have found conditions that would support it - water and atmosphere. The most likely candidate right now is Mars, which has been proven to have both ice and atmosphere, though not breathable by humans, it would possibly provide a place some of known bacteria could live in.
