Why can’t we live on any of the other planets in the solar system?

In the not so distant future there may come a time when it is not possible for all human beings to live on Earth. The reasons for limiting the population such as plagues and diseases have been all but eliminated. So naturally the human population is growing faster than it has ever done in the history of the planet. So will we have to go hunt for another planet to live on?

The closest planet to the sun in the solar system is Mercury. It is so close to the sun that the heat has not allowed the planet to settle down into terra firma.  Venus is the second planet from the sun. It is hot and volatile. There is no possibility of landing on Venus within the limitations of our current technology.

Mars is kind of inhospitable to human beings right now but yes with a hundred thousand years at our disposal we may be able to shift to the planet. The remaining planets of the solar system aka Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and the dwarf planets in the ends are just too cold to sustain human life.

All in all we can not live on any of the other planets in our solar system. Plus we are yet to find a hospitable planet in any other solar system as well. So it would be prudent to get the human population under control and soon. Here’s a science project you can try out to hunt for a suitable planet.
