What planet only has life?

Yet Earth remains a standout, and so far, one of a kind. Of the thousands of exoplanets – planets around other stars – confirmed by our increasingly powerful telescopes, and despite extensive probing of the solar system, ours is still the only planet known to host life.

Can we live on Mars?

Human survival on Mars would require living in artificial Mars habitats with complex life-support systems. One key aspect of this would be water processing systems. Being made mainly of water, a human being would die in a matter of days without it.

Is there life in Saturn?

Unfortunately, no. Saturn can't support life as we know it because Saturn is a gas giant planet. It has no solid surface because it is composed of gases, mostly hydrogen and helium. The further into the atmosphere, the denser it gets, and the pressure squeezes the gas into a liquid.

Is Earth the only planet with life?

Earth is the only planet in the universe known to possess life. The planet boasts several million described species, living in habitats ranging from the bottom of the deepest ocean to a few miles up into the atmosphere. Researchers think far more species remain that have yet to be described to science.

Who discovered Earth?

The first person to determine the size of Earth was Eratosthenes of Cyrene, who produced a surprisingly good measurement using a simple scheme that combined geometrical calculations with physical observations. Eratosthenes was born around 276 B.C., which is now Shahhat, Libya. He studied in Athens at the Lyceum.

What happens if the Sun dies?

Once all the helium disappears, the forces of gravity will take over, and the sun will shrink into a white dwarf. All the outer material will dissipate, leaving behind a planetary nebula. "When a star dies, it ejects a mass of gas and dust — known as its envelope — into space.

Can we live on Kepler 452b?

We won't be able to answer every question, but we'll do our very best. Astronomers say that the planet is in the “Goldilocks zone”, meaning that the distance of the planet from its star is just right, making it not too hot and not too cold for life to exist. The same is true of the Earth in our own solar system.

Can a human live on Pluto?

As such, there is simply no way life could survive on the surface of Pluto. Between the extreme cold, low atmospheric pressure, and constant changes in the atmosphere, no known organism could survive.

Can humans live on Jupiter?

A: Jupiter is a gas giant, which means it probably does not have a solid surface, and the gas it is made up of would be toxic for us. It is also very far from the sun (sunlight can take over an hour to get there) which means that is it very cold.

Can you live in the moon?

Although you might think it would be cool, humans could not live on the moon! (Maybe one day in the future...) The moon has almost no atmosphere, so there's no air for us to breathe. There is no water on the moon either, and we need to drink water to survive.

Was there life on Mercury?

All evidence that science has do date indicates that there has never been life on Mercury and never will be. The harsh conditions on the planet's surface and the tenuous atmosphere make it impossible for any life form known to man to exist.

Can humans survive on Titan?

Titan is extremely cold, with an annual temperature of -180 C (-291 F), but thankfully, due to its thick atmosphere, humans walking outside on titan would only need warm clothing and respirators. Titan's atmosphere lacks oxygen; however it contains ice water below its surface that can be used as a source of oxygen.

Can we create water?

Yes, it is possible to make water. Water is made of two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom. The process to combine hydrogen and oxygen is very dangerous though. Hydrogen is flammable and oxygen feeds flames, so the reaction to create water often results in an explosion.
