Question

It is the year 2085, and the world population has grown at an alarming rate. As a space explorer, you have been sent on a terraforming mission into space. Your mission to search for a habitable planet for humans to colonize in addition to planet Earth. You found a planet you believe would be habitable, and now need to report back your findings. Describe the new planet, and why it would be perfect for maintaining human life.

Answer 1

Hello!

A habitable planet for humans should have a similar environment to Earth with suitable temperature range, atmosphere, water, and organic matter. The planet should be located in a "Goldilocks zone," which means it is not too close to the sun to be too hot, or too far away to be too cold. The planet should also have a stable orbit and rotation to avoid extreme climate changes.

Additionally, the planet should have sufficient atmospheric pressure and composition to support human life. It should have a magnetic field to protect the planet from harmful radiation from the sun and other space objects. The planet should also have a stable geological and tectonic activity to maintain a stable climate and environment.

Answer 2

if there is a source of water and single celled organisms, life will be possible on that planet. The planet will need a atmosphere so 1. it will have its own gravity 2. and so that gas molecules ( including oxygen) will not be able to escape into space. the world population will be roughly 10.7 billion people so the planet will need to be spacious. A planet as described would be perfect if you take the right measures. if it has single celled organisms than its proven that it can and will sustain life. So, the planet has a water source, contains living organisms, is spacious, and has a atmosphere.
