created A planets habitat is basically made by its atmosphere. It is also made by how close it is to something really hot like a star. If it is close to a star, the atmosphere, and the habitat, is bound to be steaming hot, more than incapable to host life. The same consequence is to planets far away from a star, except those planets are going to be freezing cold. If it is just right, it may have life. Fun fact box:
Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and
Neptune are all made of gas.
Long ago, Venus was a planet very
much like ours.
Uranus has been known to have a
ring like Saturns, though it is much fainter. What exactly are planets? A planet is a round, large heavenly body that orbits a star which, in return, shines it up. A planet is
an orbit around a star.
Is supposed to have enough mass
to make a nearly or completely round shape.
Its not a satellite(unlike the moon.)
Its supposed to have cleared its
orbit. So thats basically what a planet needs to be. How do we know there are aliens? We dont. There arent many planets which are hospitable for aliens. You need a habitat full of oxygen and water and good food. Still, some scientists believe Mars to be the answer. From what we have seen, it seems to be the most likely planet to have life. Scientists believe that Mars use to have water. But if there is life on Mars, it is extremely unlikely that it would have those small green men on TV. It is most likely to have microscopic, single cell life forms. citations http://worldbookonline.com/student/ article?id=ar433460&st=planets http://www.abc.net.au/unleashed/ 4240372.html http://solarsystem.nasa.gov/planets/ whatisaplanet.cfm Book: a guide to stars and planets. http://global.britannica.com/ EBchecked/topic/625665/Venus/ 54178/The-atmosphere Dilip Devadass Tuesday, 10 June, 2014 12:17:20 PM Hong Kong Standard Time
