Larger planets may be unable to form moons like Earth’s own, which is vital for sustaining life, scientists have claimed. They argue that smaller planets are therefore more likely to host alien organisms.
Our moon plays a crucial role in supporting life on Earth, controlling the ocean’s tides and in turn the life cycles of organisms on our planet. The Moon also stabilizes the Earth’s rotations and contributes to our stable climate; both factors are key to life existing on this planet.
In a paper published in Nature on Tuesday, a team of researchers led by Miki Nakajima, an assistant professor of earth and environmental sciences at the University of Rochester, suggested that the size and make-up of the planet is key to understanding the formation of moons.
