It's possible on some, but others would not allow us to do that. If we moved to another planet, we'd have to have all the stuff we "normally" need to live already on the planet, be able to take it all with us, or be able to make it up where we land. The atmosphere of Jupiter or Saturn, which is thousands of miles deep, would crush us if we tried to stand on the surface (if there is even a solid one in there somewhere). And the gravity would be really, really unkind to our bodies. Mars has no atmosphere to speak of. If we lived there, we'd have to live in sealed structures. And they'd have to resist radiation. We'd be hard pressed to "set up shop" there, but it may be possible. The outer planets are very, very, very cold. It would take tremendous amounts of energy to keep from freezing. The inner planets are bathed in sunlight and are hot as hades, like Venus, or have no atmosphere and are alternatingly very, very hot and very cold, like Mercury. Radiation on Mercury is very high, as it would be on any plant moderately close to a star (like our sun), and having no atmosphere. Want to move to another planet? Here's a checklist. Moderate size? Jupiter and Saturn would crush us. There is currently no technology that can "shield" against gravity. Proximity to a star? Not too far away or you can't generate enough heat to make it liveable. Too close and you burn and get irradiated. Air to breathe? Is it there or do you have to make it from stuff on the planet. Taking enough and recycling it is not a good proposition. Water to drink? Is it there or can it be "manufactured" there without costing a boatload of energy? Mars has ice on its poles. We haven't found surface water, but we're looking for it subsurface. Reprocessing water is as poor a proposition as reprocessing air. It's okay for the trip (maybe), but not a good deal for the long haul in the new neighborhood. Food to eat? We'd have to be able to grow stuff there. We can't take enough to sustain us indefinitely on a remote ball of rock. And recall us having all the stuff we need to sustain us? Well, we need to have all the stuff necessary to sustain plants enough to keep us alive and healthy. The problem of rounding up the things necessary for life will have to include plants as well as us. We can generally build structures to protect us, but the biological problems of sustaining ourselves and the plants which are our food sources are massive. All that stuff we take for granted here has to be thought through. Cold? Put on a jacket. Hungry? Go to the local fast food place and grab a meal. Thirsty? Get a glass of water from the tap or some gulps from the drinking fountain. Have to go to the bathroom? Go ahead and go. Are you taking your next breath? Feel free to. You don't even think about it. You absolutely cannot do that on another planet. Starting looking at what you need to do every day to "live" and think about how you can translate that. Not TV or sports or reading or texting or creating projects or playing Video Games. Not that stuff (which is all important - in the right proportion). It's about being in a place out of the cold or rain. Going to the bathroom to wash or do the usual stuff. Grabbing something to eat. Getting a drink, and - the biggie - taking your next breath.

Can we survive on any other planet in the Solar System?

not the sun or venus Pluto is aright but only a few we could survive


Which other planet could people survive on?

As yet we do not believe that any other planet can support life. However there is evidence to suggest mars once did.


Can you survive on other planets?

You can only survive on Earth but no other planet.


Could humans breathe on any other planet?

Venus and Mars are the only other solid bodies in the solar system with atmospheres dense enough to "breathe", but neither contains nearly enough oxygen for a human to survive on.


Could you survive on any other planet?

That would not be possible without a lot of special equipment and provisions as there are no planets in the Solar system aside from Earth that have any thing like the conditions we have here on earth.


Which other plantes could fit into Jupiter if it was hollow?

Jupiter is the largest planet of our solar system, as such any other planet would fit within Jupiter if it was hollow.


Is there a another planet that all living things can live?

There is no habitable planet besides Earth that all living things can survive on. If scientists found another planet with water humans could probably survive on other planets but we would need food supplies brought regularly. Plants survive on a certain type of environment, so unless we could create an environment on another planet exactly the same as where the plant came from it would be impossible. Animals are like humans, if they have food supplied regularly enough and a fresh water supply they could live on another planet.


This planet has more moons than any other planet in your solar system?

Saturn has more moons than any other planet in our solar system


What planet in our solar system is most habitable?

Earth is the most habitable planet in the solar system, which is why there is so much life on it. As far as we know, no other planet has life on it. Mars could possibly support human life, with supports to help them.


Could a giraffe go on the moon?

It wouldn't survive being on the moon just like any other living thing. Anything that breathes oxygen can only survive on earth unless their is another planet with oxygen.


What other planet in your solar system is suitable for humans?
