The furthest planets from Earth are Exoplanets (or extrasolar planets), which are outside our solar system and are in orbit around other local stars. So far, over 500 have been detected. The furthest confirmed exoplanet so far is MOA-2008-BLG-310L, which is over 20,000 light years away. No doubt there are exoplanets in orbit among much further stars, even in those of other galaxies. Trying to identify them is a huge challenge though, due to the distances involved.

Why do scientists believe earth is the only planet with life as you know it?
Earth is the only planet known to have life on it, however with the vastness of space the likelihood of life not existing anywhere else is astronomically low. We just havent found it yet.
Have scientists discovered a planet comparable to earth?
Comparable, in what sense? - Scientists have discovered over a thousand planets outside our Solar System; most of these are much larger than Earth (since those are easier to discover), but several have been found that have a mass comoparable to Earth.
Can life be found on planet?
Yes! Life could be found on planet earth!
Why is it that the Earth is the only planet that can support life?
earth is the only planet IN THIS SOLAR SYSTEM that can support life. but when you think about it the universe is so big that there's such a big chance that there's life on a planet somewhere out there. but scientists have already found what looks like a planet that is as old as earth, the same size of earth, and it looks like it has water on it. but its about 20 million light years away.
What have scientists found large deposits of in Antarctica?
Every day, scientists are discovering answers to questions about the health of planet earth. These are the only discoveries allowed under the governance of the Antarctic Treaty.
If scientists found a new planet outside our solar system that had an atmosphere similar to Earth's three billion years ago what kingdom's organisms would you expect the new planet's organisms to re?
