How many planets in the universe can support life?
1 Answer
Explanation:

Content: One of those variables was the percentage of the number of planets that could support life actually having life. It is pretty much universally agreed by scientist that if a planet can support life, life will be there. If you consider the hundreds of billions of star in our galaxy, even if only 1% have planets and even if only 1 % of those planets has the right temperature range and 1% of those had atmosphere and 1% of those had water and 1% of those had a magnetosphere, we would still be looking at 1000-4000 planets in our galaxy that had life. Now there are billions of galaxies in the universe. So even though the number of planets that can support life that we know of is one, it is very likely that there are billions of planets in the universe that can support life. Answer link
