any other planets which have the necessary resources so that life can exist on it?

Question

i hope the question is clear !!! ...

Answer 1

Planet hunters have discovered an 'extrasolar' planet that showed evidence of oxygen. Where oxygen occurs there should be something to produce it, because otherwise it would combine with other elements on the surface. The evidence for oxygen was speculative, however.

Answer 2

No, at present Earth is the ONLY known planet in our entire Universe that we know supports life. There may a couple small moons like Triton that orbit the outer gas giant planets that just may have some sort of micro biotic life far underneath the surface where heat is received from the centre of the moon rather than the sun, but we can only guess at this for now. But considering that there are 300 billion stars in our own galaxy and over 300 billions galaxies in the known universe i would think that there is an extremely high probability that there are millions of other planets in our universe where life exists.

Answer 3

There are no planets we know of for sure that can support life as we know it. But that does not stop report after report appearing in the press about how this or that planet or moon could have large amounts of liquid water below the surface and how water is needed for life. But any life that could live there would be really alien, like the tube worms found living at volcanic vents on the Earth's deep ocean floor.

Answer 4

One of the most exciting discoveries of the past decade has been the long-awaited discovery of compelling evidence for the existence of planets around stars similar to our Sun.

Are there other habitable planets? Probably, although most of those discovered to date are not even marginally habitable.

Is there any form of life on these planets? It will be a while before we can say - this is a major objective of NASA's Origins program. The history of life on Earth suggests that wherever the conditions are right, life will appear, but this is, so far, a possibly risky extrapolation.

The evidence for these planets is strong, but indirect; the effect of planets gravitationally tugging on their star, producing shifts in their spectra. But these allow accurate estimates of the masses and orbits of the planets. In one case we can see the signature of three planets - another solar system! So far the technique is sensitive to Saturn-mass, Jupiter-mass and heavier planets, and especially to ones close to their star, where they have maximum gravitational effect. We cannot yet detect Earth-mass planets. There are no direct photographs yet; one controversial case turned out to be a background star, not a planet.

One of the most exciting discoveries, announced in August 2000, is of certainly one and probably at least two gas giant planets around Epsilon Eridani, on of the closest stars to us, at a distance of some 10.5 light years. These are in orbits a bit smaller than that of Jupiter and a bit larger than that of Neptune. The inner one's mass is like Jupiter's. If you can imagine life on Europa, then it is no great stretch to imagine a habitable satellite of this planet!

Answer 5

Actually there's something like 130 planets outside our SolarSystem. TITAN one of Saturn's moon's, actually has an atmosphere.There's an orange haze surrounding it.EUROPA, one of Jupiters moons, is frozen, water is needed for life.But all said, MARS is still best candidate for life. (So far anyway) Still, the biggest problem with finding anything is the modern-day telescope. They're just no where near the strength we need to see that far.

Answer 6

maybe... they think they found water frozen at the poles on Mars which would make Mars habitable. With the noted exceptions of a lack of oxygen in the atmosphere and that it is mighty cold there.

Answer 7

so far, only mars can possibly sustain life. other than that, some of the moons and asteroids may be habitable.

Answer 8

Mars because that's were all the boys a NASA want to go!

Answer 9

given the resources we have I don't see how we can answer that Question

Answer 10

Venus, in a few millon years.

Hope this helps.

Good Luck.
