To survive on another planet, humans would need supplies of oxygen, food, water and protection from environmental hazards. The specific needs vary by planet. On Mars, supplies would be needed for power, cooling, waste disposal and recycling air and water. The gas giants like Jupiter would require warm clothing due to cold temperatures. Outer planets like Neptune would need food, water and shelter from cold conditions. Surviving on another planet requires life support systems and protection from each planet's extreme environment.

9. Jupiter
• Jupiter is the 5th planet from the sun.

to be wearing warm clothing.

10. Jupiter and its Moons

planets, with a volume more than
1,300 times greater than that of
Earth. Jupiter’s colorful bands are
caused by strong atmospheric
currents and accentuated by a dense
cloud cover. The massive

• This planet has a deep layer of metallic hydrogen, an
intermediate layer of, liquid hydrogen and liquid
helium, and finally with an outer gaseous layer.
