some would say, yes, it would be a good idea.
Mars is an planet close to our sun, and our orbit, which contained water once at a time, and still does in its icecap, where it's in a permanently frozen state if it's kept there. It has a dense atmosphere, generally made of iron chemicals and dust which gives it Mars its red, desert abandoned looked. A dense atmosphere; it would be a perfect target for terraforming .
Suggestions for terraforming; perhaps constructing bio-domes which may produce oxygen in a mass quantity, and other chemicals which help build up over time, it will normalize it; causing it to become colder, as the process is; but it will be breathable, and safe ... to our knowledge. There must be oxygen present though.
Others would note that the Martian gravity is much less than that of Earth and any breathable atmosphere created would have a relatively short lifetime.
Also, the eccentricity of the Mars' orbit gives temperatures ranging from 20 C to well below 0 C. The average temperature is -60 C, and if sufficiently heated to 0 C, the hottest temperature will be 80 C.
Terraforming a planet is the process of modifying it to make it like Terra (Earth) although it is normally used to simply refer to making the atmosphere breathable by higher animals and plants. With this definition, Terraforming Neptune would be giving it an atmosphere that humans can breathe. That being said, it's impossible to terraform Neptune, because it is a naturally stormy gas giant with winds raging up to 2,000mph, very little sunlight for food or energy, is too far from the sun to hold liquid water and has an exposed molten core that you'd fall into and be vaporised by if you try to stand on the planet.
Well, one way of getting water on Mars would be to melt the polar ices. This could be achieved by producing a Greenhouse effect on Mars (like we are currently doing on Earth), to thicken the atmosphere, and raise temperatures just enough to melt the ice and for bodies of liquid water to form on the surface. Another way would be by slamming asteroids or comets into the surface of Mars. This might actually be easier said than done.
The only other planet in our Solar System that is a good candidate for colonization is Mars. Callisto, which is a moon of Jupiter, and Titan, which is a moon of Saturn, both have an atmosphere, but are considered less seriously because of the temperature problem. Mars is the only planet under consideration.
It is unlikely that wheat can grow on Mars in its current state due to the harsh environmental conditions such as extreme cold, low atmospheric pressure, and high levels of radiation. However, future efforts in agricultural technology and terraforming may make it possible to grow crops like wheat on Mars in the future.
The act of making land suitable for human use is known as land development. This involves altering the land to prepare it for construction or other human activities, such as grading, paving, and installing utilities. Land development can range from residential subdivisions to commercial developments.
Yes it is certainly scientifically possible. See links on terraforming and in particular Mars.
Terraforming is transforming a planet into one that is similar to Earth (so that an ecosystem in which humans can survive will sustain itself).

|Yes you can! On your bike son!
Yes
If the sun exploded (went into supernova), then I highly doubt that terraforming of ANY world in our Solar system would be enough to save us from the catastrophic explosion of the Sun.
Launching algae and anaerobic bacteria to Mars for terraforming could have unintended consequences on the planet's ecosystem and could potentially harm any native life forms that may exist. It is essential to thoroughly study and understand the Martian environment before introducing foreign organisms. Additionally, international scientific and ethical guidelines would need to be followed to ensure responsible terraforming practices.
actually a simple rock could do terraforming (reshaping the terrain of the earth). The glacier age was extremely efficient, and so are volcanoes. You could get complicated and use sophisticated machinery like bulldoziers... Hope that helps.
Of course. You just need to find a planet with atmosphere breathable for humans, tolerable gravity, with temperatures humans can survive, and without too much solar radiation. It also needs to have plant and animal life humans can eat, or needs to be able to support plants and animals from Earth. This is when you don't consider terraforming, of course. With terraforming, the major concerns are planetary gravity, distance from the star, the state of the star, and general chemical composition of the planet.

Not in this millennium. Venus is too hot and high pressure. Perhaps an automatic terraforming complex can convert it. But not soon.
Pretty sure the answer is "impossible". You'd need to start by getting rid of at least 99% of its mass, and there's no practical way of doing that.
