If all of these planets were terraformed which would you want to live on. Or would you like to live on a different planet, moon, asteroid, etc. Lastly do you think you could do some other terraformations of other objects in our solar system like maybe Europa. Although for some of them like Europa it would be more realistic if they were colonized with habitable bases rather than an entire terraformed planet.

The moon most likely. Β Close to Earth, so going back an forth would only take a few days. Β Also of 0.16G the moon would be a fun place to live. It'd look awesome too, can you image how tall trees would grow? Some could probably get over a thousand feet high growing on the moon. Β You'd probably want to wear weighted stuff though to keep your strength up.
As for Europa it would be a boring looking world ocean. Β If it was going to be terraformed it would probably be terraformed under the ice. Β Hence why I haven't made any image depicting it, or any of the other worlds who's surfaces would be nothing but water.

venus , a tropical paradise visit venus on a vacation or to live in the warmth of the sun.
mars , moderate tempered and mild , some tropical locations but mostly medium tempatured
luna, explore the canyons and craters of the homeworlds only moon
thats my take on it

Venus has more white glow on its daylight side. Does it mean that has a higher atmospheric pressure than Earth?

This is an older image and has been updated. For that picture the increased haze was because I supposed to higher solar radiance would lead to a more humid hazier atmosphere.

I don't think the moon's has the proper amount of gravity to be fully terraformed. paraterraformed or dome terraformed. but good art work

I've written about the subject. I think it's possible, but would require an engineered atmosphere.

I never figured that would be possible, but who knows? Very fascinating to speculate... If the moon could become a habitable world, then what a close by, convenient little garden to hop on over to that would be! The physics of that place would be crazy, though, people chuckin' balls of water and giant rocks at each other.

reincardnation 30,000 years from now and you will find yourself on venus, mars, the monn, or earth! it only takes from 100% chance earth to 25% chance of earth!

I really like these: Mars has very varied terrain, all craters on Luna have become lakes and Venus looks like Indonesia, with all it's archipelagoes. Actually, Venus looks the most pleasant on this pic. In fact, if I could choose between these three, I think I'd want to live on Venus.
Also, I'm glad that you chose an Earth pic with the Atlantic at its centre, getting both Americas, Africa and Europe into the picture. A lot of people have a habit of taking America-centred pics, which leaves out the other continents and makes it all feel awfully ethnocentric. Too bad Asia and Oceania were left out, but one cannot get all. Still a very good choice though.

Oh, And Another Thing... have you ever thought of doing a terraformed Titan? I think that would look very nice. It isn't much smalles than Mars, is it?

hay if you want a terraformed titan i could make one but you have to give me a few weeks or so to study the moonand then i would need to put into plance that the oceans are pure liqud metane and then where would i get the water from so yah if oyu want i could do hat for you...

Titan is around the size of Mercury, and unfortunately it's not entirely mapped. Even though it's larger Titan has less gravity than the moon due to its low density.

well if you want to find maps of the moon i can help because i have plently of them also i have foud a detailed map of the north plole seeing as that is all that has been missing from the actual map its self.
then there is nasa they have been e-mailing me not shure why but if you want i can e-mail them back asking for a map of the moon and see what they say.

That's probably because you're on NASA's LRO mailing list. My newest moon image ([link] ) is based on that data.

hum okay i didnt think that i was i dont even see why i would but that could be it. thanks for the info.

Just my theory I signed up for their mailing list so I wouldn't miss it when the LRO data was released.

Thanks, the resolution of the data for Earth is the poorest though, which is one of the reasons I don't do it much. I wanted to do one for Mercury, but there is no data and there won't be until MESSENGER maps it in a few years.

Yeah, There are parts that aren't really mapped yet-Though I don't think that mercury would be terraformed, more like parraterraformed..

You never know, but unlike all of the moons and dwarf planets (with the exceptions of our moon and Io) it would have a solid surface at STP rather than liquid.

Standard temperature and pressure. Which is 0C (32F) at sea level.
