which other planet, if any, can best be terraform?

Question

mars, saturn, venus, etc,

Answer 1

people say mars all the time, but the sad fact is "mars doesn't have a magnetic field"
without that, humans will not be able to live in the atmosphere we create for long due to radiation.

venus is the same

saturn never

Answer 2

NASA and planetologist claim Mars is the most logical candidate for "terraforming", a hypothetical and "idealistic" concept that has yet to even be proven remotely possible under the extremely harsh Martian conditions of 250 degree F. below zero freezing temperatures (short of moving the whole planet closer to the Sun), 350 mph cyclonic sand storms, radical solar irradiation bombardment that "sterilizes" everything on the surface, and a scant planetary electromagnetic field.

In comparison, there is a much smaller plot of land here on Earth that "terraform theorists" should try terraforming as an initial "experiement" to support their hypothesis... it's called the Sahara Desert. If they can transform the vast sandy Sahara into a virtual "Garden of Eden" under these much more favorable terrestrial conditions of a strong geomagnetic field, an atmosphere with breathable oxygen, and abundant water supply, then afterwards, regarding Mars, I would say, "Knock yourselves out!" Until then... we are talking not about "science", but about "science-fiction".

Answer 3

Well, my answer would have to be Mars, because it ought to be as simple as unfreezing the polar ice caps. The ice is actually mostly frozen carbon dioxide (CO2) with water ice likely hidden beneath it, but that would work to our advantage. If enough of that CO2 is released into the atmosphere of Mars, it would cause a signifigant greenhouse effect, possibly warming the planet enough to thaw the remaining polar ice. Easy to terraform? No, not at all; how do you intend to melt that much ice without a proper atmosphere to mess with, like there is on Earth? But, compared to the rest of the planets in our solar system....

Mercury has no atmosphere at all, and there's no feasible way to give it one. Venus: lost cause; hot enough to melt lead on the surface, and the air alone is corrosive enough to scorch anything it touches. Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune are all giant spheres of gas with no solid surface. Good luck ever living on that.

Answer 4

i read an article once that said everything Mars needs to possible become habital Venus has to much of. And if u can transfer all that matter from Venus to Mars you would get two planets possible able to sustain life. In theory of caorse.

Answer 5

Definitely Mars, and maybe some of Saturn or Jupiter moons.
Venus atmosphere is too hot and deadly for such purpose.

Answer 6

I'd imagine mars. bit further away from the sun so it would be colder but its not some swirling ball of gas like the others.
