No, because it's gaseous. But the moon Europa might be able to support life on the seafloor.

Does Jupiter and mercury have water?

Jupiter has some H2O. Some of it is in the form of gas, and some in the form of ice. Virtually none of Jupiter's "water" is in the liquid state. Mercury has no water.


Does Jupiter have anything unique like storms volcanoes water or life?

Jupiter has storms, but this is hardley unique; storms of some form or another occur on every planet in our solar system except for Mercury. Evidence suggests that some water is present on Jupiter as ice crystals and possible tiny droplets in its clouds. Jupiter does not have any volcanoes as it has no solid surface. There is no life on Jupiter. Earth is the only place in the universe known to harbor life.


Is there life on Io and if there is what kind?

No one knows of any life outside of Earth, but Jupiter's moon, Io, could have life in some form. We just don't know, yet, yes or no.


Is there life on planet Venus Earth Mars Jupiter Saturn Uranus Neptune Pluto?

Earth (where we live) is the only place known to have life. Evidence that Mars once had liquid water leads some to think Mars may have once supported life, but it is unlikely now. Of the remaining ones, Venus is far too hot and the others named are gas giants, which could not support life. Pluto is simply too cold. However Europa, a moon of Jupiter and Enceladus, a moon of Saturn are being looked at. Both are icy moons with evidence of liquid water beneath the surface. There is some speculation that these oceans could support some form of life.


Are there life forms on Jupiter?

No, there cannot be life on Jupiter because there is too air pressure; organisms would be crushed. Also, there is no land formation so one would need to fly. However, there are massive storms on Jupiter, which contributes to the fact that there cannot be life there.


Can Mercury support some form of life?

Can exoplanets support life?

Some probably can. A few have been discovered in the habitable zones around their stars, though there other factors in whether or not a planet can support life. Most, however, orbit too close or too far from their stars to support any form of life as we know it.


Moons that would make an interesting side trip?

One interesting moon to study would be Europa, which orbits Jupiter. It is believe to have about a 60 mi. thick band of water around it, some of it in liquid form which could harbor some form of life!


Why might scientists be interested in Jupiter?

Because Jupiter is a planet in our own solar system, making it easier to send probes and satellites to, and some scientists believe a Jupiter moon might be capable of supporting life (Europa). Some facts about Jupiter: - 5.20 AU from Sun - 1 Jupiter year=11.86 Earth years - 1 Jupiter day=9.97 Earth hours - Jupiter has 3 faint rings (all our gas giants have rings) - Jupiter does not experience seasons
