the new planet found few months back because it is said it is like earth when we can live on earth so we can also live on the new planet found

This question poses a question which has no viable answer.
1. There is no way to move to another planet. No means of
doing that which provide anything but a very brief stop at
one of the other planets in our Solar system. Some planets
are Gas Giants with no real surface crust as we have on Earth. Land on those and you sink into a gas and/or liquid form of gas (very cold).
2. No planet in our Solar System has equivalent conditions as those found on Earth.
3. No means of transportation are available which allow
movement of lifetimes of supplies, food, air, and water. Were someone to try and pack all that material for a single person, estimate that volume to be equal to a "very" large house, with lots of weight. Cost to transport that mass into space would blow everyone's mind - just for one person.

I agree that the Sun becoming a red giant in about 5 billion years' time is the prime cause for us to consider packing our bags and getting the removal vans out. In that context Mars will be no better than earth: even if earth is not engulfed (it may spiral outwards as the Sun will exert less gravitational pull on the inner planets) it would become too heat-scorched and would lose its atmosphere. Mars would be similarly affected and Mercury and Venus will both get swallowed up as the Sun expands.
The realistic prospects for colonisation look like Europa (which has liquid water under a crust of ice) Titan (which has lakes on its surface) and Enceladus (which has a water-rich plume venting from the its south polar region): these of course are moons nor planets: the asteroid Ceres, though small is believed to have more fresh water in its interior than exists on earth and this may perhaps sustain a smaller colony on its surface.
But in 5 billion years' time, interstellar travel may be sufficiently far advanced to venture further afield. Gliese 851c, here we come! It is 1,4 billion years younger than our Sun and will last a lot longer than it, as red dwarfs do not use their hydrogen up very fast ...

After Earth, Mars is the planet with the most hospitable climate in the solar system. So hospitable that it may once have harbored primitive, bacteria-like life. Outflow channels and other geologic features provide ample evidence that billions of years ago liquid water flowed on the surface of Mars. Humans cannot live without water.

When the Sun will come to end there will exist the only reason for humanity to leave the Earth. But the cause will also not leave any choice in the Solar System.

a planet where there is nothing so that earth can be a better place to live on. I would like to move to Pluto even though it is not a planet because it is the smallest and therefore innocent.

humans breath through oxygen,and earth is the only provider of oxygen so therefore earth..
and there are also such reasons..:
-mercury has only a temporary atmosphere..and it consists of hydrogen and helium only..consequently,mercury is exposed to meteor bombardment..
-venus' atmosphere consists of carbon dioxide nd sulfuric acid..venus is too hot..
-mars' atmosphere is about 95% carbon dioxide..
-the atmosphere of jupiter is turbulent,consisting of hydrogen and helium..
-the atmosphere of saturn is like that of jupiter..
-the atmosphere of uranus is composed of hydrogen,helium and methane..
-the atmosphere of neptune consists of hydrogen and helium..it has a large storm systems..
the thin atmosphere of pluto is composed of frozen methane..(which only exists as gas only when the planet comes close to the sun..)
