It's only 1/5 oxygen. 3/4 of it is nitrogen. As for "high gravity" -- as far as planets go, it's only 4th out of 8 in our solar system (And only Mercury and Mars are significantly less). Assuming that planetary distribution is similar everywhere in the universe, I would think "middle gravity" would be more accurate. --gejyspa ------=_Part_133256_24454962.1230907977399 Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Disposition: inline

  Why "oxygen atmosphere"?  It's only 1/5 oxygen.  3/4 of it is nitrogen.  As for "high gravity" -- as far as planets go, it's only 4th out of 8 in our solar system (And only Mercury and Mars are significantly less).  Assuming that planetary distribution is similar everywhere in the universe, I would think "middle gravity" would be more accurate.
