Life on other planets, this is what the human body would look like

When astronauts go to space, they face some health problems on the way back. This is because the environment they visit differs from that on Earth.

But most of the planets are impossible for the human body to handle, so the "BrightSide" blog has modified what the body would look like if it lived on one of the other planets.

Life on Mars

The gravity on Mars is lower than on Earth and it is further away from the sun, so we would see less sunlight. Mars has no shielding magnetic field due to its thin atmosphere, and this would result in greater exposure to radiation.

In this case, man would appear taller, with a stronger body structure to compensate for gravity and have larger eyes to better perceive the sun.

To protect against radiation, the body would convert the pigment from melanin to carotenoids, giving the color of carrots, tomatoes and oranges. So people on Mars would have orange skin.

Life on Jupiter

Life on Jupiter would be extremely challenging since there is no real surface. The planet is made entirely of gas, and the human body would have to look completely different. In a high-pressure location, humans would appear physically larger, have tails for locomotion, larger eyes, and longer arms and legs.

Also, the body would possess additional isotopes in order to withstand high radiation.

Life on Saturn

Like Jupiter, Saturn is made up of giant clouds of hydrogen and helium with no solid surface and powerful winds. Because of the extreme cold, no living thing could survive unless the human body was built with ingredients from this planet.

Saturn's average density is less than water, so a human would look like a jellyfish.

Life on Mercury

Life on Mercury is difficult. This planet is closest to the sun, so its rays are 7 times more powerful than those on Earth. The blog writes that nothing would withstand the sun's rays as the temperature during the day goes up to 430 degrees Celsius, while at night it drops to -180 degrees. All this is accompanied by meteors and powerful earthquakes. On Mercury there is no atmosphere or air to breathe.

Human flesh and bones could not afford to live on this planet unless they resembled titan metals. Sunglasses would be more than necessary to protect against sun exposure.
