Of course t hey can, we have detected dozens of planets outsie our solar system.

Solar systems like ours is probably the most common type of structure in the universe.
The same type of structure that produces planets that will eventually produce life.
Giant stars that are destined to be super novas do not have a planetary system.
The elements that make up the planets of our solar were produced in these massive stars.

Of course they can. And they do. We have already discovered hundreds of planets around other stars that are tens of light years away. Given that there are an estimated 100 billion galaxies, with 100 billion stars each, and about 10% of those stars likely have planets around them, I'd say that there is probably at least several mirror images of our solar system out there somewhere.

Yeah, the sunlight is the sole famous individual interior the image voltaic equipment. yet you will possibly be able to recommend, "is the sunlight the biggest or smallest famous individual interior the galaxy?" if so, then neither. it is an elementary famous individual, there are thousands and thousands (if no longer billions) of famous individual the two greater massive and yet another million (or billion) that are much less massive. Astrophysical motives provide us a coarse bigger mass shrink on stars (if a famous individual gets too massive it is going to blow itself aside) and a stricter decrease mass shrink (the place if it is too low mass it could no longer fuse hydrogen --- this is a factor of the definition of (substantial series) famous individual). Now we've got here upon stars suitable as much as the two a type of limits interior the Galaxy.

They do have solar systems! The likelihood of a planet in that solar system being supportive of life as we know it is very slim, but there certainly are other planets rotating around far away suns.

I'm sure that there are other stars with planets like this. We know that planets exist, but most of them that have been detected are gas giants. We can't see these planets directly; we can only observe them because of the gravitational effect they have on the stars. This means that there's no reason not to believe that smaller planets are plentiful around other stars.

People think so small, there are dozens of galaxies you can see with a cheap telescope at night, each containing hundreds of stars, each star normally having multiple objects orbiting it. There are hundreds right here in our galaxy. Add, hundreds of galaxies, times the average number of starts per, times the number of object orbiting each star and you will a number that your calculator cant display. Most astronomers believe that we sit on the outside edge of our "universe". That even the galaxies orbit on one central gravity. So to say that the chances of life outside earth are slim.... the chances are better than winning the jackpot on the lottery.
