Hi Sterling, Just think, if life originated in the oceans on our Earth, all the possibilities on these little bigger earthy worlds you contemplate. To be fair we can stick to your "surface area is the square of diameter" rather than worry about what is going on in the planet's deep inner space. I guess you and me might look like mermen or whales if we evolved there...The only difficulty I see in a water world would be developing a written form of language and hunting for meteorites. Maybe all this would happen on the floating mangrove islands, sea lillies, and duckweed that could choke their world to death:) Nice post, thanks, Saludos, Doug

Knowing that somebody will ask how big a bigger Earth has to be before there's no land at all, just oceans, the answer is: somewhere between 2-1/2 and 3 Earth masses is the point where the median ocean depths equal the height of the highest possible mountain. >> ______________________________________________ Meteorite-list mailing list [email protected] http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
