      I think all of the other planets in our solar system, and indeed all the other one’s we’ve found in other solar systems, are very inhospitable places – incredibly cold or hot, lacking oxygen…not nice! If I had to choose one in the solar system, it would be Mars – similar to Earth in some respects, I think it would be the most inviting – I’d still have to have a very robust house that could stand through the huge sandstorms on the planet, and keep me warm at night. There is water on Mars too in the form of ice at the polar ice caps – so at least I could get that there if I ran out!
      Is it ok if I stay on Earth for now though? 😉

      I’d quite like to live on Mars – I think that would be cool. I’d love to try and terraform Mars (make it more Earth-like) and create a home there. Other than that, a visit to Saturn’s moon Titan would be awesome – it rains methane there and you’d get to see Saturn rise and set everyday. Beautiful!

      Oh no, I don’t want to leave Earth. I quite like it here really, can I stay??

      But if I COULD choose another planet it might be nice to be on one which had 2 suns… more sunshine that way 🙂

      I’d like to live on Saturn’s moon Enceladus because there is water there so we could survive (sort of!) and the view of Saturn and its rings would be amazing!!
