It's still feels weird to me how surfaces of other planets look so "earth-like".
Tell me about it. It gets even crazier knowing that Venus used to have habitable conditions way back. Now its so hot it rains molten lead.
You should check out Saturn's moon Titan, it has conditions very similar to very early earth, except instead of liquid water, it's so cold that there's methane lakes on the surface. It's a pretty good target for the search for extraterrestrial life. Those and the icy moons like Europa and Ganymede with liquid oceans under their frozen crusts. The moons are really exciting and there's so many of them in our solar system
