Its gravity is twice that of the Earth. However, scientists are claiming that it would not be an obstacle in the survival of life as humans would eventually adapt to the gravitational pull. Jenkins said, "People already adapt to heavy weights - humans are built to do this kind of thing. The human body has an amazing ability to repair itself - so over time, humans could adapt."
