What's HETAP? Why, it's "Hypothetical, Extraterrestrial Animals and Planets."

Well, what's that? It's my latest project. I shall create 4 different, hypothetical planets and make lifeforms that exist in those planets.

The planets:

Fervens Terra-Latin for "hot earth." It is hotter planet than Earth, yet has diverse ecosystems. It's about 342 K(about 157 Ferenheit) at it's coldest and 367 K(202 F) at the hottest.

Nongravis Terra-Latin for "not heavy earth." It is a planet who's gravity is less than that of Earth. It's temperature is slightly cooler than Earth's.

Pergravis Terra-Latin for "very heavy earth." Unlike Nongravis, it is a planet who's gravity is higher than Earth's. It's temperature is slightly warmer than Earth's.

Gelidus Terra-Latin for "cold earth." It is colder than Earth. At it's warmest the temperature is 281 K(about 47 F), and it's coldest it's 112 K(-258 F).

Anyone wanting to assist me, or cheer me on, is quite welcome. I doubt that this is a feat that I can do absolutely alone.

Note, that I am in few ways a laymen. I am very capable at science, especially astrobiology, biology(well, not so much as others), astronomy, physics(eh. Just a little knack with physics.), evolutionary science, and astrophysics(well, basics), all of which would help me greatly in this particular project. But, then again, I'm only 16 in my Sophomore year.

BTW, sorry, no Grays. I'm making this more realistic.


All updates will be edited into the first post.

Interesting.


Thank you.

What purpose are you trying to serve with this?


Hmmm... Good question... I guess there is no purpose, besides having a little fun.

What caused you to want to do this?


My interest in these kinds of things. Plus, I've been kinda bored lately.

What do you base you ideas after?


On the workings of evolution. A species would evolve different;y on a hotter planet than Earth. Basicly, I'm basing my ideas on evolution and biology.

Have you read any material or watch any programs where scientist give their view of what some alien life may look like?
I believe Animal Planet did a show on this.

Yes. Both the one on Animal Planet and National Geographical(the one on Aniaml Planet was more impressive, in my opinion.).

^Could you please elaborate on your question a little?
