Do any other planets support life?

Mars.. and possibly titan, the sixth moon orbiting Saturn. it is about 50% larger than earth's moon. and is even hypothesized to be able to support a tropical environment. although, the gravity is much less than earth's. if titan's atmosphere did not allow so much heat to escape (anti-greenhouse effect) the temperature might contribute in allowing life to develop. since gravitational compression generates heat from the planets core and radiates it to the surface, it might be possible to support life just below the planets surface or maybe on it. it is reasonable to assume the second known planet to contain a nitrogen-rich, fully developed atmosphere, that can somewhat compare to earth, could develop its own forms of life, but would rely on liquid methane rather than h2o. but that's just a guess. mars is a good one too. except it looks like someone already came by and took all the good stuff and left a bunch of red dirt(iron oxide) behind.

Another Answer:

In our Solar system - No planets are likely to support life - apart from Earth of course.

There is a possibility that "life" may exist of the moons - Europa and Enceladus (because they are known to have liquid water) and "maybe" Titan but it would not be a "water" organism.

No. Earth is the only "living planet", known to us

our galaxy is so big that we have not even explored 10%

so just think about the whole universe, can't there be life in such a vast and massive space. Just like our earth there can be so many planets which would support human life.

The existence of life on other planets has not been confirmed yet. However, there are hundreds of known planets, and extrapolating this data, there are probably billions of planets in our Milky Way alone, with a wide variety of conditions (temperature, chemical composition). So the question really is, how likely is it for life to form spontaneously.

No other planet in our solar system could support advanced life. Throughout the universe there are probably thousands, maybe millions, of planets which could support advanced life.

Gilese 581c. is similar to earth and is only 1.98 times bigger than earth. A astronomer said that there is a good chance that the planet could support life.

mars can maybe support life but not any other planets.

With our current understanding of life and what it can survive in, Earth is the only planet known to support life.

Are there any other planets that sustain life?

So far, earth is the only planet known to support life, but many scientists thing that life probably exists on other planets.


Is there more planets were people can live?

It is possible, even likely, that there are other planets that could support life. We have yet to find any.


Why did God create life on other planets besides earth?

Scientists say that life can be expected to have evolved on other planets, wherever the environment is not so hostile that life can not be supported. They say that in this vast universe there must be many such planets that can support life and that some are likely to support intelligent life forms even more advanced than humans. Whether we believe that our God created the life on other planets is a matter of human faith. No doubt any intelligent life on other planets will never have heard of Earth's gods.


What other planets-other then earth-may support life?

Life probably does not exist on any of the known planets (except earth). But if life does exist on one of those planets, it would probably be on Mars. Venus is way too hot, Mercury does not have an atmosphere, and the other four planets are made up almost entirely of gas.


Is there any other life on any of the planets that you know of?

We don't know about any other other place, besides Earth, that harbors life. But many scientists think that there is life on other planets.


Was there ever life on any other planets?

No one actually found any human life on any other planets yet, but there is known to be some plant life out on mars.


Do we assume that no life can live on other planets because humans can't?

No. There are life forms on Earth that can survive in extreme conditions where humans can't. The environment on Earth when life first emerged would have been toxic to us. If other planets have these conditions then they may support life. The main ingredient scientists believe to be necessary for life is liquid water. Earth is the only planet known to support liquid water on its surface, but we know very little about the planets that exist outside of our solar system. While it is unlikely that life exists on any of the other planets in our solar system, we have no way of knowing with current technology if planets in other solar systems support life.


Is there life in any planets?

Yes, only on the Earth. We don't know if the other planets have life


What does life on any other planets like?

No


Do any other planets have an atmosphere like earths and if they did could it support life?

At the moment, no planets are known to have conditions similar to Earth's for supporting life. If there planets similar to Earth, there would definitely be living organisms of some sort. On the other hand, there is slightly less chance of sentinent life such as our own species existing.


Is there intelligent life on other planets?

So far, mankind has not discovered any life on other planets, let alone intelligent life. There's barely any intelligent life on this planet!!!


Is there life is exist on any other planets?

At this time we have no evidence of any extraterrestrial life.
