      I would say one of Jupiter’s moons called Io (pronounced eye-oh)! It is a poor old, tortured little moon. It is constantly pulled and squashed by the forces of the giant planet Jupiter next to it on one side, and a fair amount of Jupiter’s 67 moons on the other.

      This makes it really, really hot and it has over 400 volcanoes that are constantly erupting. I think it would be pretty difficult/horrible for us to try and survive there. Poor Io!
