      If i could live anywhere, i’d probably chose a moon of Jupiter. How amazing would it be to look up and have Jupiter take up half the night sky?

      If it was any planet at all, as in it could be around another star, I’d definitely choose a planet that could support life, but was quite different to Earth. Maybe a planet that was a bit smaller, so the gravity is a bit lower, which would be fun! It would be great to explore a place like that!

      Hmm… If it had to be in our solar system, then Mars! It would make my work so much easier if I were there! 🙂

      I think I’d want to near (but not on) saturn so you could look up at the rings! You’d be too close to see them properly, but I think one of saturn’s moons, enceledus would be pretty cool. The surface is cracked due to earthquakes, and there are ice volcanoes there!

      I’d like to live on a planet with several moons, and perhaps a couple of stars! (although it’s not clear that stable orbits planets can exist in solar systems with two stars!).

      There is a short story by science-fiction writer Arthur C Clark, which takes place on a planet with 7 moons and 2 suns. On that planets there is no night because of the 2 suns, but one day all the moons are so lined up that there is a total eclipse and so they get to see the stars for the first time — this make everyone go crazy!

      THAT would be a fun planet to live on!

    We don’t really know much about most of the planets outside this solar system. We know what the atmospheres of about 4 are made of, but not much more. Most of them are really hot and go round their star once a day! My favourite is Wasp-12b which is about the size of jupiter and is so close to its star that the atmosphere is being boiled off! It’s such an interesting object – I don’t think I’d want to live there though!
