Why couldn't there be life on another planet other than ours.?

Answer 1

Let's see some of the more "impossible" places microbial life has been found on earth: inside the reactor of a nuclear power plant, inside the permafrost layer near the poles. In other words, even in places of extreme heat or extreme lack of it, there is life. At the bottom of the ocean near the thermal vents where creatures cannot use photosynthesis, nor even pull oxygen from the surrounding water like normal fish. They use chemo-synthesis to sustain themselves; in water that can either melt the submersibles scientists use to get down there if the get too close to the vents or corrode it cause the chemicals in it are so toxic. So, life is VERY tenacious. I doubt there is a biologist out there that could be original in thinking up a different [i.e. other than oxygen/carbon based] type of life--Nature's probably already gone and invented it.
The answer to your question:
No reason at all why there cannot be life on another planet than ours--just not life we are used to.

Answer 2

Life doesn’t actually need much to get started. Heat is the obvious requirement, and it can be found all over the universe. A planet within temperate distance (relative to our sun, that’s between Venus and Mars) will do. Among the billions of solar systems among the billions of galaxies, this shouldn’t be too hard.

Water forms easily in the universe from basic elements – hydrogen and oxygen. You’ll find it everywhere, either as ice, free flowing, or water vapour.

With the soup taken care of, you need only add the spices.

In space, you can find fungal spores. These are biological. They can stay dormant indefinitely regardless of the conditions and generally find their way to other planets over time. This is called seeding. They’ll happily grow and evolve – maybe even into trees!

Otherwise meteorites carry material from other worlds, including amino acids. Add in a little electrical storm and bingo: single celled organisms that become simple life forms – divide, consume, divide, consume, and so on. Later they can evolve into sea life, amphibian, and land based, and finally, divided consumers (also known as people).

Pretty soon, the creatures that evolve will be burning people at stakes made from trees over suggestions that life could exist on other planets! Those same creatures will evolve into nuclear bombers.

And then they’ll blast their planet to bits sending out spores and biomaterial into the great wide universe!

It's the great circle of life.

Answer 3

It really doesn't matter. The distances in space are so great that communication between the Earth and another intelligent planets is very difficult or almost impossible. But maybe we can find some kind of "simple life" on the moons Titan or Europa.

Answer 4

Most people think there is life on other planets. There is a mathematical probability of 5 billion earth like planets in this galaxy alone. I'm pretty sure some of them must have life.

Answer 5

With stars numbering in the millions and likely as many planets out there the probability that our planet is the only one with life approaches nil.

Answer 6

there may be life on other planets, but not the planets in our solar system other then ours. The temperature is either far too hot, or far too cold. The other planets orbit other stars, known as exo-planets. But scientists still ha'vent confirmed that there is life on other planets.

Answer 7

There can be and probably is. I think there IS life out there somewhere else. Are we too narrow-minded to think we are the only life form in this galaxy. Honestly, we only have technology to see planets in our solar system. Space is infinity. God put us here on this planet. Who is to say that He doesn't have other life forms beit people or "aliens" on another planet that we don't have technology to see?

Answer 8

Scientists are looking for planets, but so far they have all been too hot or cold. Not the right kind of atmosphere. Weather is too extreme, (violent storms)... There is a new technique of searching using the light of a second star to find new planets.

Answer 9

there can be life on other planets like a planet 40 lightyears away from earth half of it is covered with snow there's water, its in a safe distance away from it's nearest star but one part faces the sun and the other away so only the part that face the sun can have life

Answer 10

Who said there couldnt??

There are millions of planets around space, the chances of there being life on other planets is kind of big, if you think about it for while.
