Title: Could life survive on a planet with more gravity than earth?
Post by: thedoc on 28/07/2015 19:27:13
The Keplar space telescope has found a planet similar to the earth but 60% larger. How would its stronger gravity affect human-like life forms? Is there a gravitationally habitable zone for planets?
