Could we live on any other planet?
Based on his Copernican principle, J. Richard Gott has estimated that the human race could survive for another 7.8 million years, but it is not likely to ever colonize other planets.
Why do other planets Cannot sustain life?
Low-mass planets are poor candidates for life for two reasons. First, their lesser gravity makes atmosphere retention difficult. Constituent molecules are more likely to reach escape velocity and be lost to space when buffeted by solar wind or stirred by collision.
What are the planets that have life?
A 2015 review concluded that the exoplanets Kepler-62f, Kepler-186f and Kepler-442b were likely the best candidates for being potentially habitable. These are at a distance of 990, 490 and 1,120 light-years away, respectively.
What is the other planet like Earth?
Kepler-452b (a planet sometimes quoted to be an Earth 2.0 or Earth’s Cousin based on its characteristics; also known by its Kepler Object of Interest designation KOI-7016.01) is a super-Earth exoplanet orbiting within the inner edge of the habitable zone of the Sun-like star Kepler-452, and is the only planet in the …
Which planet is most like Earth and why?
In terms of size, average density, mass, and surface gravity, Venus is very similar to Earth. But Mars is the planet that is most similar to Earth in other ways. A Martian day is just over 24 hours, and its rotation axis is tilted by about the same amount as Earth’s.
Which planet is the smallest?
Mercury

Does the universe end?
The end result is unknown; a simple estimation would have all the matter and space-time in the universe collapse into a dimensionless singularity back into how the universe started with the Big Bang, but at these scales unknown quantum effects need to be considered (see Quantum gravity).
