Brief.... not breef.
As a Christian I believe life is possible on other planets because of the creative nature of God. He is a creator and it seems rather silly to believe we are all He made and then stopped. He surely made the angels, seraphim, and cherabim.... and we don't really know what they are, do we? It just makes sense to me that He would have made beings we are not familiar with..... and have no need to know about or He would have told us.
Best Wishes,
Sue

There are billions of stars in the universe, and as science is discovering more planets, it will almost certain we will find there are also billions of planets circling these stars. Each of these will have many thousands of variant conditions, some like our Jupiter or Mars, and some we are unaware of. However it is unimaginable to think that of these billions of other planets, ours is the only one that has the right amount of heat and water and conditions that ended up bringing life as we know it into existence. If only a small fraction had these features, say a thousand of a thousand percent, then there would still be thousands of plants similar to our own, just waiting for life to start. I would have to think that in the billions of years the universe has existed that life (self-replicating organized structures) formed and evolved in some way on those other worlds.

I cant see why not. Firstly, we think that life can only exist under the same environmental factors that are displayed here on earth, but we dont know this for sure, life may be present in some pretty harsh (from our view) environments. Secondly, even if life could only exist under the same circumstances that we find on earth, with the billions and billions of planets out there, surely there must be at least one that has the same environmental factors that we have, and therefore a high probability of life.

enable's move over each and every answer. a. planets like Jupiter and Saturn do not have atmospheres that ought to keep up human existence. b. we've got here upon no limits to places on earth the position existence must be got here upon. c. even contained in the atmospheres of the outer planets warmth zones ought to exist d. methane is recent contained in the ambience of the outer planets, and that's an organic and organic compound. And, who says existence desires carbon? Silicon varieties complicated molecules comparable to carbon (even although that they in many situations are a lot less complicated). the most perfect answer is b. Wind speed is inappropriate if the organism is shifting with the wind. a similar must be suggested for the gravitational pull (which, by the way on Saturn isn't a lot more advantageous than on earth). both Jupiter (and to a lesser quantity) Saturn emit extra warmth than they acquire from the solar, so there are probable warmth zones at some ranges contained in the ambience. the problem is getting adequate skill (apart from thermal skill) for existence strategies. in spite of the indisputable fact that, as I suggested earlier, there would not seem a reduce on earth the position existence must be got here upon, so organisms that exist (if any) contained in the atmospheres of Jupiter or Saturn ought to have solved the skill issue.

In order for life to exist, a planet needs to be:
1. The right size, density, gravity
2. Have enough atmosphere, but not too much
3. Possess enough liquid water
4. Have the correct distance to solar heat ratio
5. Have sufficient rotation speed
6. Iron core
Give it that, and one of the chemical reactions you get as things settle down will result in amino acids- the building blocks of life.
The odds of any one planet having these balanced conditions are very small. The odds of one in a trillion planets NOT having these conditions are even more minute.
There's life out there. That's just simple mathmatics.

what do you mean by "life" ? is that human beings or any life, any plant any creature, any "anything?" -- for such away places we have to know what you have in mind. yes, life is possible and it probably exist. there is the existence of "something" there...it exists when we define existence the fact of their being there. other planets are so far away but it is more logic to put strength to our own planet and see its survival -- together with its human beings. we have a chance to save it...if not in years to come great probabilities it will self-destruct -- see what is happening already to climate change -- Vancouver is getting the snow while new york is basking in the sun. the culprit, man with his insouciance of his techno acts together with his car, pollution, war, the survival of the fittest will no longer be possible. a gleam picture, hope it helps for the better and stay with us on this planet before you worry on the neighbor's' turf.

Not only poss, but highly probable.Every star[that hasnt exploded]you see, is a Sun to a solar system,like ours.All that is required,is that the planets of that system are aligned like ours,distance etc, & that the "star" is burning at proper temp.Imagine if you will,that we can only see a millonth of a millionth of the "Suns" out there??---Thats alot of solar systems to support life

Are you hoping to move to a life supporting planet? This curiosity for life on other planets drives the expensive quest....money which could be spent here on earth where there is most definately life and most definately suffering life.

sure, if the initial conditions for life to form are met, then there is no reason why life couldn't evolve. The problem is we don't what exactly those conditions are at this point, although with the billions of galaxies containing billions of stars, the chances of life forming somewhere else start to stack up.

Yes, but it won't resemble humans or animals since this solar system does not have other planets with water systems.
Planets outside our solar system, probably, but Hubble does not yet have the resolution for us to see planet detail there.
