Default Game mechanic question

Sorry, just a few more questions as I try to re-figure this game. Questions revolve around colonies and planets.

Green stars (as opposed to red ones) mean that the planet is a breathable atmosphere, right? Which means that I don't need a domed colony. What are the benefits of this?

Non domed can hold much more facilities and cargo. (its about 5 times I think)

It is exactly 5. A domed colony has 1/5 the space for everything: facilities, pop and cargo.

Ok, the benefits of facility space are obvious, but what does population do? I'm constantly transporting people from planet to planet, but now I'm wondering why.

more population means you can build things faster.

If you also have "Advanced Storage Techniques", then the the tiny to large planets will have 6x the facility space when breathable.
(Due to rounding effects)
