whitemonsterbunny17 (whitemonsterbunny17):

Which one do you think it is?

OpenStudy (elise_a18):

Mars or Europa

OpenStudy (shadowlegendx):

Are you sure? :)

OpenStudy (elise_a18):

nope thats why im asking os

OpenStudy (shadowlegendx):

White what you just did was against the CoC

whitemonsterbunny17 (whitemonsterbunny17):

It is?

OpenStudy (shadowlegendx):

Yes

OpenStudy (zale101):

in size, Venus is about the same size in earth. Mars is a lot smaller. Europa's size is not similar. But europa is the icy moon of Jupiter, and scientist have seen some similarities to earth, there's water and maybe life exists there

OpenStudy (shadowlegendx):

Yeah it is believed that water exist under the surface of Europa

OpenStudy (shadowlegendx):

But Venus has a thich atmosphere like Earth along with volcanoes( which means there is magma/lava)

OpenStudy (shadowlegendx):

thick*

OpenStudy (zale101):

but the size of europa is smaller than the earth's moon :/

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Venus is a veritable purgatory. The average temperature is over 400 degrees, the barometric pressure is that of 900 meters underwater on Earth, and the cherry on top comes in the form of occasional bouts of acid rain. It also has nights that last for 120 days. Humans cannot live on Mars without the help of technology, but compared to Venus it's paradise :D

OpenStudy (shadowlegendx):

Yeah exactly...so Europa being a moon should take it out of the question as it is just way smaller then Earth

OpenStudy (zale101):

yeah, venus is a lot hotter than earth, it's crazy out there

OpenStudy (shadowlegendx):

But it is similiar to Earth in many ways

OpenStudy (shadowlegendx):

The thick atmosphere keeps all the heat that is generated in...much like our atmosphere

OpenStudy (zale101):

the question says "The body of the solar system" by body they mean the size, so the answer is Venus for sure

OpenStudy (shadowlegendx):

Yep

whitemonsterbunny17 (whitemonsterbunny17):

I'd say its Venus.. because the size is the most similar to Earth's size

OpenStudy (zale101):

i agree

OpenStudy (elise_a18):

Thanks for all your help everyone, i wish i could give you all medals :D
