In your opinion, what would be the most dangerous planet to harbor life?

Question

Now, I'm well aware that all the gas giants in our solar system aren't suitable for life really. But out of the 8/9 planets orbiting our sun, which would be the most devastating and challenging to harbor life other than earth?

Answer 1

If you don't count the gas giants then I would say pluto. It's so far away from the sun, and it's freezing.

Answer 2

I think Pluto.... to cold and not enough light to grow crops... not to mention the lack of soil an oxygen! Also getting there would be a challenge in itself!

Answer 3

Earth....There is only one danger on any planet in this system...Instant DEATH!

But on Earth...there are a zillion other dangers!

Answer 4

In my opinion VENUS is the most dangerous plante to live because venus is the hottest planet having temperature of 450 degrees.The atmosphere of Venus contains only Carbondioxide    which absorb heat therefore it is hottest planet.One other thing is that the clouds of VENUS contain concentrated Sulphuric Acid.Scientists called this planet as h**l......

Answer 5

I would say either Jupiter, Neptune, or Venus.

The first two for their horrid storms, especially Neptune's Dark spot, which is much faster than Jupiter's big red.

but venus i would say is most dangerous because of its co2 atmosphere. i mean it's almost 97% co2 (and we humans are already fretting about global warming). venus is scorching hot, takes long to orbit the sun (as well as one rotation for one day), and of course, no water =P

then again, w/o water, no other planet can harbor life..probably titan moon?

Answer 6

Mercury.  It's so close to the sun, there is no way to do anything to cool it down enough to sustain life.  

On the colder planets, you can always warm them up with some type of energy.  You can also create an enclosed space with a suitable environment.  What you cannot do is force something to be colder without having a place to dump the heat.
