      Ideal? I think earth hits that on the spot.

      But i think given current populations expansion ideally a earth like planet but much bigger would suit us far better. More resources and more space would help us out, we are filling up this planet and using up it’s resources way too quickly!

    For life to form a planet needs to have the following:

    -An atmosphere (i.e. the ozone layer) that protects
    -Water. Although it has actually been hypothesized that extraterrestrial life-forms may have evolved a way of using another solvent in place of water.
    -An energy source. We use carbon but there are other chemicals that could do the same job.
    -The correct temperature to support life.
