Why do NASA scientists spend billions exploring planet Mars for Water yet ignore planet Venus?

Because every probe ever sent to the surface of Venus melted after a few minutes and got crushed into a small ball by the pressure and heat there. Besides this, there is no point in searching for water there; any that was would have vapourised immediately and disappeared from the atmosphere.

Is a galaxy a planet?
no, it covers billions of them.
From what and how did the Earth begin forming?
You're asking us? Scientists can't even figure this out. Evidently from old "stardust" - i.e. when a star explodes, its detritus travels to other systems and eventually comes into orbit around another solar body, eventually forming into a planet. It takes billions, upon billions, upon billions of years.
Is life possible on any other planet?
Quite possibly. So far, scientists have discovered over 1,000 planets outside our solar system, and estimate that there are hundreds of billions more in our galaxy.

What planet can humans live on?
If scientists discover another planet we can live on then yes but right now scientists are still looking;)
How does the water get into the sea?
Scientists believe that the water on earth came from icy comets that collided with the planet. This would have mainly happened billions of years ago when the earth was still quite young, and when bombardment from such bodies was more frequent.

No scientists say that. Scientists know that Pluto is a dwarf planet, and not one of the 8 major planets of our solar system.
