Introduction
At present the only planet or moon that is known to support life in The Solar System is Earth. It is not to say that life doesn't or ever existed on other planets and moons, its just we've not finished checking everywhere yet and have not found any evidence yet. There are eight planets and an untold number of moons that have to be checked. The Earth has one moon but Jupiter has sixty plus moons. Mercury
Mercury, the closest planet to The Sun, is far too hot and far too cold to support any life. It may have a thin atmosphere of oxygen but the heat from the Sun would vapourise and prevent any life forms from forming. It is safe to say that there is no life on the planet. There might be life forms deep under ground but that is highly unlikely. The side of Mercury that faces the Sun will be too hot and the side that faces away from the Sun will be too cold therefore it has no ability to support life. Venus
Venus was once thought to contain life given its near proximity planet and it is within the Goldilocks Zone.
