How could Jupiter support life?

Answer 1

Not "life as we know it", such as life here on Earth. We can't speak with any precision about "life as we DON'T know it", other possibly exotic forms of life, but considering that in other environments that we once considered to be "extremely hostile to life" on Earth, life somehow manages to survive. For example, in ocean-bottom "fumaroles", places where volcanic activity is happening 15,000 feet or more deep in the ice-cold waters.

So, the completely accurate answer is, "Not that we know of, but anything is possible!"

Answer 2

Jupiter has no ability to support life, considering it is a planet made almost entirely of gas. Even if you could stand on the surface, the pressure would kill you.

Mars is the closest planet besides Earth to have the possibility to support life.

Answer 3

It can't; not "life as we know it", such as life here on Earth. We can't speak with any precision about "life as we DON'T know it", other possibly exotic forms of life, but considering that in other environments that we once considered to be "extremely hostile to life" on Earth, life somehow manages to survive. For example, in ocean-bottom "fumaroles", places where volcanic activity is happening 15,000 feet or more deep in the ice-cold waters.

So, the completely accurate answer is, "Not that we know of, but anything is possible!" Science Fiction writer Arthur C. Clarke wrote a story about an explorer who parachuted into Jupiter's atmosphere and then inflated a "hot-hydrogen" balloon to explore the cloud tops. There (and this is an SF story, not reality) he discovered species of exotic flying jellyfish-type creatures, preying on smaller organisms in the Jovian atmosphere. Could this be possible?

Well, consider that Arthur C. Clarke is the guy who invented the concept of geo-synchronous communications satellites and aircraft ground controlled approach landings, I would hesitate to dismiss any of his ideas, no matter how fantastic.

Answer 4

Jupiter is a gas giant with extreme weather conditions, including high radiation levels and intense storms. The planet lacks a solid surface and has no known hospitable conditions for life as we know it.

Answer 5

no because the gravity of Jupiter is so heavy that it would be hard to stand without falling.

Answer 6

Most likely not. Jupiter is a gas giant with an atmosphere made almost entirely of hydrogen and helium. It does not have much of the chemicals needed for life.

Answer 7

No because their is no oxygen or any nourishment for any type of creature.

Answer 8

no because our bone couldn't support the pressure and you would quickly start to lose mussel mass and eventually your bones will brake.

Answer 9

We haven't explored it in great enough detail but probably not, since it has such harsh conditions, strong gravity and is made mainly of gas - it is a gas giant
