well Gleise 158 g is a "super earth" its roughly 5 times bigger than earth. supposedly it has water on it and it is in the "green zone" (the zone in which a planet can support life) and the "g" at the end on Gleise 158 G stands for Goldilocks which mean its a goldilocks planet ( a planet with life on it)

What known exosolar planet confirmed within the inhabital has had the highest calculated probability of supporting life?

The most likely candidates are (in no order): Gliese 581 g, HD 40307 g, Gliese 163 c, Gliese 581 d, Tau Ceti e, Gliese 667C c, Kepler 22 b, HD 85512 b and Tau Ceti f


Is there any new planet discovered recently?

Gliese 581g has been discovered recently and scientists and astronomers think that there could be life on it - as it is in the 'Goldilocks zone' - a zone where there could well be water and land on planets in this area.


What is Gliese 581 g?

Otherwise known as Zarmina's world, Gliese 581 G is apparently of the condition to sustain life. It is an estimated 20.3 light years away. It orbits around a red dwarf called Gliese 581. For more info check out the related link


Why might Gliese 581 g have the right conditions for life?

it falls in the habitable zone of its star, it has oxygen in it's atmosphere, and it has water. Those are the seeds of life and Gliese 581g most likely has them all! The only bad thing about it is that this planet is tidally locked. It's always day on one side, always night on the other.


Does Eris have any materials that could support life?

•I think the planet Eris could not support life because it is too cold to have water, but it does have ice. Even if the ice were to melt (which it wouldn't because its cold) it would just freeze back up again because the planet is too cold to keep it in its liquid state. So no, the planet could not support life.

Does gliese 581c support life?

yes gliese 581g has bacteria alians and humans could live there too. You can build a spaceship i your lifetime.


Which planet apart from earth may have or had life as you know it?

No other planet in our solar system could support advanced life such as on Earth. Others could support UNintelligent life. Planets in other galaxies that may support life are: OGLE-2005-BLG-390Lb , Gliese 581 c, and Gliese 581 d.


Anything about the new planet Gliese 581?

gliese 581 is a star system not a planet however two of the 3 planets there are debatable that one of them could support life


What is the difference between Gliese 581 c and Gliese 581 d?

Gliese 581 c is too hot for life because it is closer to its star. This planet is similar to venus. This planet traps too much heat that causes a strong greenhouse effect. The temperature is too high and the atmosphere is nearly all carbon dioxide. Gliese 581 d is at the right distance for liquid water to exist. It is at the Goldilocks zone just like the earth. That means life could exist on Gliese d. This planet have the right temperature. It has a magnetic field and a rich oxygen and nitrogen atmosphere.

What is special about Gliese 581 g?

It is a planet only about 3 times the mass of Earth orbiting in the habitable zone of the star Gliese 581. It is widely considered the most likely extrasolar planet to harbor life.


Could Betelgeuse support life?

Betelgeuse is a star and thus cannot support life - as we know it.

Why could Saturn support life?

Saturn cannot support life. a hydrogen and helium atmosphere cant support life. then theres the radiation factor too.


Can the planet Gliese 581 g support life?

Gliese 581 is a red dwarf star that is around 20.5 light years from ours. Up to six planets have been detected in orbit around this star Gliese e, b, c, g, d and f. The fourth one out (Gliese 581 g) is thought to be the most Earth-like planet found so far, if it were to be a rocky planet. It is the right distance from its star in terms of ideal temperature (for liquid water). It is 3.1 to 4.3 times more massive than the earth. It was discovered in September 2010, but is still to be confirmed. It is possible that this planet may harbour life, but the exact surface conditions cannot be confirmed precisely enough to say for sure.


Is there life on Ceres?

It is extremely unlikely that Ceres could support life.
