This is a space race to find out the champion of these planets for which one could sustain life the best. The criteria we used for measuring were liquid, an energy source, and chemicals. These are the elements needed to sustain life.
Water dissolves nutrients and carries chemicals for the cells. An energy source, like sun for the earth, is also needed to keep life going. Chemicals like hydrogen and oxygen are needed on earth to sustain life, so other planets also need chemicals to create life.
Introduction
Europa
Europa is a moon of Jupiter. It has a salty ocean under its crust and chemicals that would have to create energy because it is too far away from the sun.
Moon
The moon has a very thin atmosphere called an exosphere. It has no liquid water as far as we know, which makes it inhospitable to humans.
