Exercise 8. Read the following passage and choose the best answer.
Most scientists believe that for another planet to have life on it, it must be similar to
Earth in several ways. It is likely to need an atmosphere (air) and water. It also must orbit a
star, like the Sun, at a good distance. This star would provide the right amount of light and heat for life to exist.
Scientists have studied planets and moons in our solar system to see if they can support
life. Space probes have searched for traces of bacteria or other tiny living things on Mars.
Some scientists are also looking for the possibility of life outside our solar system. Using
radio telescopes, they hope to capture signals from intelligent aliens.
So far, no evidence of extraterrestrial life has been found. However, scientists have
discovered hundreds of planets that orbit distant stars. Some of these planets are an ideal
distance from their stars, and some are roughly the size of Earth. It may be possible that life
has developed on one or more of them.
