Shower Thought: Gray Aliens

So I have a thought that I've been thinking about for several days now. Figured I'd share my thoughts with this platform because I wanted to get off my chest at least. I am by no means a professional biologist but I do have knowledge when it comes to evolutionary biology.

With that said if there are any biologists that end up reading this please by all means insert your opinion based on your profession and probably correct me because I may be wrong in some of these and welcome correction.

Now my thought about gray aliens is going to be based off the pop culture depiction of the so-called aliens. Whenever you see the typical gray alien depiction for some of you that may not be aware but the basic description of these aliens are that they're short their skin is grayish in color their eyes are almond shaped black they have slits for nose and mouth and they tend to wear like some all-in-one bodysuit.

My idea of their home planet is based off the typical description of these aliens, which is that I would imagine the planet that they live on is very cold which could explain their skin tone and the fact that they wear this bodysuit gives me the impression that they have very little to no sunlight and their bodysuits are probably designed to keep them relatively warm in this cold environment they find themselves in.

The fact that they're short gives me the impression also that the planet is probably a bit more massive than our planet because I would imagine if the planet is larger than ours then the increased gravity forces that would be a factor of this large planet would force them to be shorter in stature. Now with their eyes being black gives me the indication that they have very very little sunlight so they've adapted to live almost in pitch black but not completely pitched back. Therefore when you see a typical gray alien depiction and you see the large almond shaped black eyes those are probably the result of very little sunlight available on their planet which has forced their evolutionary path to adapt by having their pupils larger than usual to compensate for the lack of light that is probably available to them.

So in conclusion I would expect to find a Planet if these great aliens exist to be a planet that is larger than Earth and the rotation of this planet around its star is probably situated in where only one side of the planet is always exposed to the sun while the other side is not exposed to the sun creating this Dynamic of always hot on one side always cold on the other but with the warming of the planet probably allows life to happen there and inadvertently probably as a result these gray aliens evolved on that environment and adapted and therefore probably explains why they look the way they look.

These are just my thoughts when I think about the description of your typical gray alien I'm sure there are other ideas of their planet or why they look the way they look but this is just my interpretation based on just a few factors that I see from their description and my basic understanding of evolutionary biology.
