As far as we know, Earth is the only planet that supports life, but there have been many studies that show that some other planets have either supported life previously or could be capable of supporting life.

Well, there are planets outside of the solar system, and there is one that is livable, but I don't know what it is called.

What planets in our solar system is habitable?

Earth is the most habitable planet in the solar system, which is why there is so much life on it. As far as we know, no other planet has life on it. Mars could possibly support human life, with supports to help them.


Do we assume that no life can live on other planets because humans can't?

No. There are life forms on Earth that can survive in extreme conditions where humans can't. The environment on Earth when life first emerged would have been toxic to us. If other planets have these conditions then they may support life. The main ingredient scientists believe to be necessary for life is liquid water. Earth is the only planet known to support liquid water on its surface, but we know very little about the planets that exist outside of our solar system. While it is unlikely that life exists on any of the other planets in our solar system, we have no way of knowing with current technology if planets in other solar systems support life.


If people found a solar system that had a sun just like our sun and a planet was as far from the sun as earth is would that planet be able to support life?

Not much is known about life on other planets - and especially about planets around other solar system. To support life AS WE KNOW IT, the planet would also have to have a similar atmosphere, and availability of water, among other things.


What is the only planet currently known to be capable of sustaining life and why?

The only planet we know for sure today is the Earth. We know that the other planets are either too cold, too hot, or have been observed to have no atmosphere to support life. It is only on planet earth that we have observed actual life. It is not impossible that primitive life can still be found on other planets in our solar system, but it will likely be very extreme bacteria etc. Complex life like multi-celled organisms do not exists on other planets in our solar system. We do not know for sure if complex life exists on other planets outside our solar system. The primary reason that we do not know, is that we have not been able to observe planets outside our own solar system.


Is there life on planet 9?

There is no known life anywhere in our solar system except on Earth.As currently defined our solar system only has 8 planets.


Is there life in our solar system?

Yes, the planet Earth is part of the solar system, so all the life on Earth is in the solar system. Yes, our Earth is part of the Solar System. As to life on other planets - both within our Solar System and in other solar systems (planets around other stars), nothing has been proven yet, one way or the other. Specifically, no life has been found on other planets. It would seem probable, though, that what happened on Earth can happen again - perhaps on nearly any planet, perhaps only occasionally.

How many planets in your solar system support living things?

Earth is the only planet in our system that is confirmedto have life. However, it is believed, and soon to be tested, that the planet Mars, and several moons, may also support life, albeit primitive life (microorganisms, mainly bacteria and vira).
