Aliens can assume the Earth uninhabitable. In fact, according to the new calculations of the "habitability index" of the Earth itself is only 82%, not 100%, as one might assume. The aliens try to understand whether there is on our planet, life, this figure could to confuse them.

the Main reason for this assessment is the proximity of the Earth to the Sun: it suggests that on this planet too hot for living beings. According to Rory Barnes, an astronomer from the University of Washington if you don't know what on Earth there is water and trees, it is possible to think that it scorched the scorching rays of the desert.

"habitability Index" was developed by Barnes and his colleagues. It takes into account many factors: the nature of the soil, atmospheric pressure, radiation levels. According to these criteria, scientists determine what celestial bodies are most "promising" and study them. It is possible that if the habitability of the Earth was called into question, other planets, by contrast, are undervalued.
