What is teraforming explain
Answers
The term "terraforming" was originally coined by author Jack Williamson in the early 1940's. Literally, the term means "Earth forming" or "Earth shaping". Terraforming refers to engineering any celestial body (planet, moon, asteroid, etc.) to resemble Earth, generally through the manipulation of temperature, atmosphere, topography, and ecology. "Planetary engineering" is another term that is frequently associated with, and substituted for, terraforming. However, technically speaking, planetary engineering is seen more broadly as the application of technology in altering the properties of a planet, while terraforming is a more specified process of planetary engineering which focuses on altering extraterrestrial terrain to be more like that on Earth.
Answer:
Terraforming or terraformation (literally, "Earth-shaping") is the hypothetical process of deliberately modifying the atmosphere, temperature, surface topography or ecology of a planet, moon, or other body to be similar to the environment of Earth to make it habitable by Earth-like life.
