As far as we can know from the one proven example of life we have, it takes a very long time for life to develop and flourish on a particular planet. So it follows that stars which shine with a stable output for a very long time are more likely to host a planet (or maybe two) that are able to support life. Apparently, it takes billions of years to evolve complex life forms.
Our star, the Sun, is an average-sized star. In some ways, it is unremarkable. But where our Sun really shines is in its stable energy output. The Sun's "energy output" varies appreciably only with the passing of centuries or even millennia, not over weeks or months. The Sun is in the middle of its Main Sequence. It is remarkable for its sameness, its stability.
But the most massive stars fuse hydrogen into helium at such a tremendous rate that they spend relatively little time on the Main Sequence. These massive stars would rather burn out than fade away.
The most massive stars are unlikey to have planets harboring life because they produce stable energy only for a few hundred million years, and not billions of years like our home star. This is true based on what we know right now.
What else can I help you with?
Why is it unlikely that you will find organisms similar to those on earth on any other planet?
The conditions required for life as we know it on Earth are very specific, such as the presence of liquid water, a stable atmosphere, and a mix of essential elements. Other planets may have different environments that would not support life as we know it. Additionally, the vastness of space and the limited number of planets we have been able to study make finding similar organisms unlikely.
Do any other planets have an atmosphere like earths and if they did could it support life?
At the moment, no planets are known to have conditions similar to Earth's for supporting life. If there planets similar to Earth, there would definitely be living organisms of some sort. On the other hand, there is slightly less chance of sentinent life such as our own species existing.
What is the largest of four rocky planets and the only place known to support life?
earth
What evidence do astronomers use to support the support the hypothesis that there was once tectonic activity on Mercury Venus and Mars?
maybe because planets are stupid
Why is it unlikely that there is life on other planets in your solar system?
They're not. There's no real scientific consensus, but most scientists agree that given the immensity of the universe, it's almost arrogant to assume we are the only denizens inside of it. If you're still interested, look up the Drake Equation on Wikipedia, or watch this video of Carl Sagan explaining it: [See related link]
What are two ways that planets are different from stars?
1) Although planets can be composed primarily of rock or gas, only stars are objects made of gas that are massive enough to support a nuclear fusion reaction. 2) Although planets and stars can orbit stars (as in binary systems), stars never orbit planets.

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.
Can all planets support life?
It depends on the organisms. If the organism can live in harsh and brutal conditions than yes, planets can support life. The traits of the organisms depend on how it can live in other planets. Only the Sun can't support life.
Can Uranus moons support life?
It is very unlikely.
