With the probability factors calculated and with all the stars in the universe, yes there is. It is estimated that there could be several hundred just in the Milky Way Galaxy alone.
We have found over 200 extra solar planets so far including several of the right size and distance from their star to have an earth like climate. One is right where Gene Roddenberry put Spock's planet Vulcan in Star Trek.
How's that for you?

geez... you tards early on in the Q that cant read properly...
the Q was regarding the UNIVERSE, not the Solar System.
With the massive size of the universe, there very well could be a planet with the climate of Earth.
we havent mapped enough of space to know. much of what we see is old light and the universe isnt in the same space we see it in. many stars no longer live but we see there light as it is still travelling, billions of light years since its release.
so I say yes, there surely must be. whether life such as ours exists on another Earth-like world... who can say.

well as far as i know astronomers have discovered 200+ planets in our galaxy. they used a method of watching a star to see if it 'wabbles' which is a sign of an orbiting object - a planet.
the thing is, this method is only good at spotting jupitar size planets which are very close to the sun which have orbits of 1 - 10 days - too close to support life.
there could be planets of the same size of eath and distance from the siz out there, but they havent been discovered yet. if were lucky, we might find one within our lifetime
hope that helps, dave

I can't answer with a definite yes, but as Carl Sagen put it "Billions, and billions of stars..."
So yeah the chances are good that ther is planet with an aprox. atmospher of 79% Nitrogen, 19% Oxygen, and assorted trace gasses, with liquid water oceans, has a 23* axiel tilt, and is about 150 million miles from a yellow star.

We've found around 30 planets of the 1,000 billion planets in existence. We have no way of knowing. It's seriously like asking you if there is a grain of sand on the moon just like the one your are holding in your hand.

Noone can say for sure, but with all the probably solar systems and planets out there, there's a really good chance of having others similar to ours.

As far as we know, there are no other planets like Earth that have been discovered so far. That's why we need to take better care of our fragile planet.

There is no way to answer that at this time as our experience doesn't encompass the universe.
Your question is the equivalent of asking if we are the only humans in the universe. There is no way to know right now if ever.
