Mars had the possibilty of life thousands of years ago. The space probes spirit and opportunity browsed the surface of the crimson planet and found nearly indisputable evidence of water. Given that, and its ice caps, Mars is thought to have maybe harbored life many years ago.

However, as we can detect no traces of it today, Mars is no longer a candidate. Instead, Europa is what astronomers are placing their telescopic sets on today. (My apologies for the terrible pun.) It is thought to, under its thick ice surface, and above the volcanic vents of its core, contain a temperate underground ocean, which may or may not contain carnivorous, or otherwise, life.

How is the planet Eris affected by gravity?

Planet Eris is affected by gravity like any other celestial body in our solar system. It has its own gravitational force that holds objects on its surface and influences other objects around it. Gravity also affects the orbit of Eris as it interacts with other planetary bodies in the solar system.


How is the moon similar to other planets?

The moon is similar to other planets in our solar system in that it orbits around a central body, which in this case is the Earth. It also reflects light from the Sun, just like other planetary bodies. Additionally, the moon has surface features and terrain that can be compared to those found on other rocky planets and moons in our solar system.

How does something like a solar system compare with a body of organ system?

A solar system is a planetary system consisting of a star (such as the Sun) and its orbiting objects, like planets and moons. On the other hand, an organ system is a group of organs working together to perform specific functions in an organism, like the respiratory system or digestive system. While both systems involve multiple components working together, a solar system operates on a cosmic scale, while an organ system functions within an individual organism.
