Our bone structure is optimized for Earth's gravity. The bigger the planet, the bigger the gravity. If any living creature ( alien for example ) would to be living in a similar planet like earth, but twice its size, is it possible to have giant spiders, monkeys, fish ?
Comment your awswer/opinion.

Actually, a being from a LOW gravity environment would be taller and more willowy than us (all other factors being the same). A being from a high gravity environment would be squat and powerful to overcome their high weight.

Men are the size they are to accommodate their physical structure.
A 20 foot man would have to look a lot different,maybe not upright,but on four legs.
Aliens must be based on some sort of DNA.
If you look at the variety of life on earth you can see that an alien could be anything you could imagine,in the environment they live.
A 150 ton whale would have an awful time living on land.
Natural selection would no doubt be the same for aliens as it is with us.

Why would you expect any living thing on another planet to assume likenesses to anything on earth. I'm sure the whole evolution process would be totally different.

just like we r not the only living creatures on earth just like that we cannot assume to be aliens huge and giant they could also be as samll as sog or even the size of bscteria.

Other planets are not like Earth. Why would they develop like Earth?

not necessarily by Earth's gravity. Think about dinosaurs. they were very big. Same gravity force.

or maybe they would just get squashed
