Most scientists believe that for another planet to have life on it, it must be similar to Earth in several ways. It
is likely to need an atmosphere (air) and water. It also must orbit a star, like the Sun, at a good distance. This
star would provide the right amount of light and heat for life to exist.
Scientists have studied planets and moons in our solar system to see if they can support life. Space probes
have searched for traces of bacteria or other tiny living things on Mars. Some scientists are also looking for
the possibility of life outside our solar system. Using radio telescopes, they hope to capture signals from
intelligent aliens.
So far, no evidence of extraterrestrial life has been found. However, scientists have discovered hundreds of
planets that orbit distant stars. Some of these planets are an ideal distance from their stars, and some are
roughly the size of Earth. It may be possible that life has developed on one or more of them.
