How, when and where life will begin on another planet after Earth.

It has been centuries now since humankind looked up to the sky and wondered, is there any other life out there apart from our own? Ever since that question has been asked, it has been a mystery. Our solar system has Sun and eight planets. The Sun is a Red Giant Star and in distant future it will engulf Mercury, Venus and probably Earth. The size and luminosity of the Sun is continuously increasing from its birth. By rearranging given astronomical data, this paper explores that in distant future, due to increasing size and luminosity of the Sun; characteristics of the terrestrial planets will shift from one planet to another that will bring life on one of the planet in our solar system after 1 duky’s Unit. 1 duky’s unit is the time from now to the time when Mercury would get engulfed in the Sun. It unlocks so many questions like why Earth has one Moon but Mars has two, how Venus became Earth’s evil twin,what is the roll of asteroid belt in our solar system, how life began on Earth, where was it before Earth and where it will be on another planet after Earth?
