Has any human been to another planet?
First successful soft landing on another planet; transmitted from surface for 23 minutes, The spacecraft definitively confirmed that humans cannot survive on the surface of Venus, and excluded the possibility that there is any liquid water on Venus. Soft landing; transmitted from surface for 50 minutes.
Has NASA landed on Venus?
On March 1, 1966, the Venera 3 Soviet space probe crash-landed on Venus, becoming the first spacecraft to reach the surface of another planet.
Has any human been to Mercury?
Have astronauts from Earth ever stepped foot on Mercury? No, Mercury has been visited by spacecraft from Earth, but no human has ever gone into orbit around Mercury, let alone stepped on the surface. During the daytime, the surface of Mercury at the equator rises to 700 Kelvin (427 degrees C).
Which God is Earth named after?
Earth is the only planet not named after a Roman god or goddess, but it is associated with the goddess Terra Mater (Gaea to the Greeks). In mythology, she was the first goddess on Earth and the mother of Uranus. The name Earth comes from Old English and Germanic.
Can humans live on Europa?
Europa’s surface is blasted by radiation from Jupiter. That’s a bad thing for life on the surface – it couldn’t survive. But the radiation may create fuel for life in an ocean below the surface. The radiation splits apart water molecules (H2O, made of oxygen and hydrogen) in Europa’s extremely tenuous atmosphere.
Are there any other planets similar to Earth?

What would it take to make a planet truly Earthlike?
For a planet to be truly Earthlike, it takes a lot more than being in the Goldilocks Zone of a star and being a rocky planet. You need: A Jupiter where Jupiter is, to run interference for all the asteroids and planetoids that would otherwise be payiing a visit way too often for life to have a shot. Like 10,000 times more than we get.
Are there any rocky planets in our Solar System?
The rocky planets, if they formed, would be very close to the star, and too hot to be considered earth-like. Such planets are found around red dwarfs, but not in our solar system, or, as far as I know, in most G type systems where there is not a star burning Gas giant that almost certainly migrated.
