What would our bodies look like if we lived on other planets?

Many factors, such as the gravitational force and pressure exerted by the Earth on us, play a role in shaping our body shape and weight. This means that in environments with different characteristics, that is, on different planets, we can be in different weights or even ‘forced’ different shapes than we are here. Of course, will we live after this shape change?

For the simplest example, you may have heard that astronauts experience bone problems when they return to Earth because conditions have changed. Fortunately, such changes are temporary. Well, if we had to live permanently in a different environment, or even on a different planet, how would our bodies have to adapt to different conditions? Let’s take a look at the images created by Bright Side.

Could this be how Elon Musk sees people in his Mars dreams?

It is clear that Mars will not be hospitable to us in our current state. Dust storms, high radiation, toxic gases and more await humanity on this planet. So what would humans look like if the evolution process took place here?

Since Mars’ gravity is less than our planet’s, we would probably have a longer and stronger body. Also, on Mars, which sees less sun than Earth, we would need larger eyes to receive sunlight. Finally, due to the conditions of the planet, our skin color would be closer to orange.

The massive Jupiter we know as the gas giant has no ground:

Jupiter’s high pressure, temperature and solid The non-existing floor makes the work very difficult. If we lived here, our body would have to become resistant to high pressure like most creatures living in the depths of the oceans.

We would also need fins and webbed hands/feet since we would spend our life swimming here. Finally, we would need shells to shield us from Jupiter’s radiation.

The human model on Saturn appears to be friendly and hostile at the same time:

Moving on Saturn, whose average density is lower than water, is to Jupiter slightly more difficult. For this reason, it was necessary to be quite light here. As a result, the structure of the jellyfish was deemed suitable for this planet.

In this context, in order to move within Saturn, you will need an umbrella-shaped lower part that you can use like jellyfish. To add to our lightness, your skeleton will also need to be absent. Because it will be crushed under that pressure.

Don’t be fooled by our character’s cool looks, Mercury is just as good as the others:

If we’re going to talk about adapting to Mercury, we need to get over the temperature issue first. Because the average temperature on the surface of this planet rises to 427 degrees Celsius during the day, while it can drop to -175 degrees Celsius at night. It also faces constant earthquakes and meteor showers.

For this reason, if we were to live on the planet, our flesh and bones would not be able to withstand these temperatures, so we would have bodies made of a durable material such as titanium. Since there was no air, we would not have a nose, and our eyes would have been larger and largely blocking the light in order to resist the sunlight.

There are more difficult places to live than Mercury: In front of you is Venus

Unfortunately, Venus, which presents even more difficult conditions than Mercury, does not have many choices about the shape one will take. . As if the planet’s surface temperature exceeding 450 degrees is not enough, volcanic eruptions and earthquakes, which are uncertain from where they will originate, will be a cause for concern.

Due to the destructiveness of the planet, even your titanium body on Mercury will not be able to protect you. On top of that, phosphine in the planet’s atmosphere means that no matter what form you take, as long as you breathe oxygen, you will die. In this context, the planet only offers microbes the opportunity to live.

Freezing cold, strong wind and endless ocean: We are going to Uranus and Neptune

Uranus and Neptune have water, methane and ammonia in their structure. In addition, these planets, which have very strong gravity, do not have solid ground at all. If you were to live here, your body would be shorter due to gravity and thicker due to freezing cold.

In order to move in the endless ocean, you would need fins to make it easier for us to swim.

We can say that this is the closest to the alien depiction of the cinema world: Our last stop is Pluto

Pluto, which is the farthest from the Sun; It’s covered in ice, cold, and has low gravity. In this context, if you were living on Pluto, you would be taller as your muscles and bones would be pulled due to weak gravity. Besides, you would need claws to move freely on the ice.

We have come to the end of our content in which we have explained how evolutionary pressure on different planets can bring about the human body. “What would the conditions of the planets require?” Let’s just say it came out in response to the question. So it’s nothing more than speculation.

If you had the choice, which planet would you choose? You can share your thoughts in the comment section.
