To qualify as a solar system, there would need to be at least one planet orbiting a star. Current estimates in our own Milky Way galaxy average about one planet per star, which would mean about 300 billion solar systems. Recent data hint that about 40 billion of those may have an Earth-like planet orbiting in the habitable zone.

There are also a smaller number of rogue planets not in solar systems, and the first exoplanet discovered in another galaxy has been identified.

We know that The Hubble Deep Field image contains 10,000 galaxies. At 2.5 arcminutes, that's roughly 1/2,000,000 of the visible universe in any direction. So if we multiply 3,000,000,000 x 10,000 x 2,000,000 we get 6 sextillion or 6,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 planets in the visible universe. It is likely much more than that.

Have you found life in the universe?

Seen as earth is a planet in the universe, life does exist within it. Statistics say that because the universe goes on infinitely, many billions of planets will have water on them and the correct atmospheric conditions for life to exist. However, we'll never find this information out in our lifetime, as other planets are many millions of light years away, by which time, global warming may have destroyed our planet etc.

There is life on other planets. Imagine, there are 1000 planets in the Universe for every grain of sand on the earth. That's how many planets there are, so scientifically, the chance that there must be life on other planets as well is much greater than the chance that there is no life.
