Is there a planet that humans could live on?
This is a list of potentially habitable exoplanets. The list is mostly based on estimates of habitability by the Habitable Exoplanets Catalog (HEC), and data from the NASA Exoplanet Archive….List.

Does the Earth get bigger?
Earth isn’t getting bigger. It’s actually getting smaller! Space around Earth is dusty; it’s full of asteroid debris, comet trails and ionized particles streaming away from the sun. And as our planet flies through that dust, our gravity vacuums it up.
Could we ever live on Mars?
Human survival on Mars would require living in artificial Mars habitats with complex life-support systems. One key aspect of this would be water processing systems. Being made mainly of water, a human being would die in a matter of days without it.
Are there any planets where humans can live?
However, scientists working with the Kepler space telescope announced in 2013 that a few recently discovered planets offer the best hope yet for the survival of human life away from Earth. Mars has long been one of the planets most studied to assess its potential to host human life.
Is it possible to have life on Earth?
Yes, life on Earth sure is lovely — especially compared to what it could be like on any other neighboring planet. If Elon Musk has his way, we’ll soon be living it up on Mars.
Is it possible for people to live on Venus?
Venus would not be a pleasant place for people to live in the solar system. The planet’s active volcanoes and runaway greenhouse effect would make it a difficult place to survive.
Is it possible for humans to live on the Moon?
Yes. Remember that humans have already lived on the Moon, but only for a few days. NASA’s current plans for human exploration of the Moon and Mars suggests that there could be permanently occupied outposts on both the Moon and Mars by the middle of this century. David Morrison.
