Most astronomers feel that it would be impossible for life to exist on Venus. Today, Venus is a very hostile place. It is a very dry planet with no evidence of water, its surface temperature is hot enough to melt lead, and its atmosphere is so thick that the airRead More →

inhabitable Add to list Share. Something inhabitable can be safely and comfortably lived in. After a major fire or a flood, it can take some time to make a house inhabitable again. The earth is inhabitable, but Mars is not. Does uninhabitable mean unlivable? adj. Unfit for habitation; uninhabitable: anRead More →

Drastic climate shifts 700 million years ago made the planet’s atmosphere incredibly dense and hot. The hellish planet Venus may have had a perfectly habitable environment for 2 to 3 billion years after the planet formed, suggesting life would have had ample time to emerge there, according to a newRead More →

Plus, Titan is the only place in the solar system, other than Earth, with stable surface liquids: Titan has lakes and seas on its surface. … But these damaging particles cannot make it to Titan’s surface; they’re absorbed by the atmosphere, meaning that it’s a safe environment for humans. CanRead More →

Scientists say some microbes from Earth could survive on Mars, at least temporarily, raising new problems and possibilities for future exploration of the red planet. … Can Man alter Mars to make it habitable? To successfully make Mars Earth-like, we would need to raise temperatures, have water stably remain inRead More →

What is life like on Proxima b? This planet in the next star system along is, at just four light-years, by far the closest Earth-like planet we know about. How many potentially habitable planets have been discovered? As of March 2020, a total of 55 potentially habitable exoplanets have beenRead More →

If the geysers draw water from a liquid ocean, samples of the interior may lie on the moon’s surface, ripe for the taking. Together, these studies suggest the possibility that Triton may be hiding liquid beneath its surface, making it a potentially habitable site in the solar system. Can weRead More →

Our moon is uninhabitable and lifeless today. It has no significant atmosphere, no liquid water on its surface, no magnetosphere to protect its surface from solar wind and cosmic radiation, no polymeric chemistry, and it is subject to large diurnal temperature variations. Can Titan support life? Although there is soRead More →
