How Long Could You Survive On Each Planet Without A Space Suit?

Wandering around in nothing but your birthday suit may be a liberating , if somewhat socially insufferable , experience here on Earth , but try doing it on other planets in our Solar System and you ’ll have more problems than just a public impropriety order to contend with . As everyone knows , the want of oxygen , utmost temperatures andatmospheric pressuresof our wandering neighbors do n’t make for ideal conditions if you ’re an tellurian .

All this beg the question , which planet would you last the longest on without a blank space suit ? fortuitously , the mighty learning ability of Neil deGrasse Tyson has been inscribe to serve that most electrocution of question , as you may see in the video below .

Obviously , visiting other planets comes with all sort of complications . For instance , apart from the scourge of asphyxiation , modest pressures experienced outside of our protective atmosphere can also causeebullism , whereby the boiling point of all torso fluids drops to below body temperature , whipping them up into a bubbling rage .

Not that you ’d have much clip to worry about that if you ask a slip to our star instead , where you ’d evaporate pretty much now . It ’s a unlike story on Mercury , though , where half the major planet faces the Sun and is therefore extremely hot , while the other one-half confront away and is the exact opposite . By straddling the two hemispheres and “ rotating like a rotisserie chicken , ”   you might have a chance of maintaining a fairish overall body temperature , and , according to deGrasse Tyson , could last for as long as you could hold your breath .

No such portion on Venus or Mars , though , with the surface of the former being hot enough tomelt lead-in ,   and the seconddroppinglower than -150oC ( -225oF ) .

As far as thegas giantsare refer , deGrasse Tyson says you could just “ block about it . ”   Not only is there no surface to land on , but the atmospheric pressure level would vanquish you . All in all , unless you ’ve get yourself a case like the new Z-2 that NASA go for will one day be worn on Mars , you ’re estimable off keeping it telluric .
