We do not know for sure.  All of other planets in our solar system seem to
be too hot or cold for life as we know it.  We are just beginning to think
there are planets at other stars and we might hope there is life on some of
them.  Some scientists have estimated the chances for other life.  It is
small, but it would be exciting if we could find it.  However, I think we
are too far away from other stars to see any life that might be there.
