Terraforming is a process of changing the environment of a planet or moon to make it like Earth so that people can live on it. Terraforming means to "make land" and it involves using tools, like machines and robots, to change the environment of a planet or moon. This could involve things like adding air and water, building structures, planting plants, and creating new climates and landscapes. By doing this, scientists and engineers hope that, one day, humans could travel to and live on places like Mars or the Moon.
