      Hi Malindi22!

      I’ll split your question in two… There are a billion billion plants in the universe! which is a lot of planets! If we think that 1 in a billions has some form of life (if we take the lowest being bacteria) then there would be a billion planets with life on them!!!!

      However… would there be creatures like humans on it? That is a little more hard to tell, but if there are a billion planets out there with some form of life on them, then its not impossible! The likelihood that we will find such creatures in our life time is bordering on impossible as we can’t travel around space as fast as we need to in order explore the universe!

      Hope that answers your question! If not, ask me more!
