This Is How Long You'd Survive on Every Planet in the Solar System



Mercury:
The side that faces the sun is extremely hot (800 degrees Fahrenheit/427 degrees Celsius at its hottest). Conversely, the opposite side is freezing (minus 290 degrees Fahrenheit/minus 179 degrees Celsius at its coldest).
Total time: About two minutes

Venus:
At 900 degrees Fahrenheit (482 degrees Celsius),
Total time: Less than one second.

Earth:
Thanks to the wonderful oxygen in our atmosphere, food and water, and everything else that makes our home planet liveable, you can get in a good 80 years here. You may live even longer if you inhabit a "blue zone," one of the several places on Earth where people tend to live much longer than the general population.
Total time: About 80 years

Mars:
"Mars is very cold, but the air is very thin," Tyson says, "so the intensity of the cold won't be as biting as it might otherwise feel at that temperature on Earth." With some very, very warm clothing, you could probably walk around on Mars until you couldn't hold your breath any longer.
Total time: About two minutes

Jupiter:
Being a gaseous planet, Jupiter would make for a uniquely uncomfortable life. "you would descend forever into the gaseous atmosphere until you're crushed by the pressure of the planet's layers."
Total time: Less than one second

Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune: 
you'd descend into these gas giants and ultimately be crushed by the pressure. Nope, not even the rings of Saturn would provide you with a stable surface to walk on.
Total time: Less than one second each
