Our universe is consist of many things like stars, planets, comets, etc. In this universe, there is many solar system, one of them is our solar system in The Milky Way (Bimasakti). Our solar system is consist of a sun as the center of our solar system and some planet in it's orbit around the sun. But, did you know? There isn't any life in our solar system except in our earth. Why???

From Islam and scientific facts side, we may know there are many facts that appear from them that may answer and explain why there isn't any live in other planets in our solar system.

Mercury is the first planet in our solar system, this planet is the nearest planet to the sun. This planet almost hasn't any atmosphere. That's why this planet's temperature are very hot and may reach 80 degrees celcious. this temperature will make leads in earth melts if the leads are brought into the Mercury. Because of it's temperature, this place can't be a living place for us.

The next planet is Venus, this planet has a thick atmosphere which consist of Carbon Dioxide and the others gases. Carbon Dioxide gases are dominated in Venus's atmosphere, this Carbon Dioxide will make an effects that called "The Greenhouse Effect" . This effect makes Venus's surface more heat and appears an effects like "Global Warming" in our earth now, But more heat. It's distance to the sun helps the heating of the Venus's surface too. This process makes this planet isn't suitable for our life.

At this moment we must go to Mars and ignore our earth first. Mars is the fourth planet of our solar system. This planet are called the red planet because this planet's surface has many rocks and grounds that colored red. Many people think this planet may become a living place for human's live because from a long research, researcher found Mars has some ice stocks, oxygen, etc. But, the amount of them are not enough for support our life in there. So, this planet can't be a living place for us.

The next planet is Jupiter, this planet is known as the biggest planet in our solar system. If we see carefully, you can see there is a giant redspot on it's surface. This redspot has identified as an eternal giant storm on the Jupiter surface. After that, Jupiter's atmosphere contains many methane that very dangerous for humans. Because of them, this planet can't be a living place for us.

After Jupiter planet, there are Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. Saturn is the sixth planet in our solar system, this planet always get many attention from some researchers because this planet has 3 giant rings around it. These rings were formed by the frozen water in the space, then this water encircle the Saturn and form 3 rings.Uranus is the seventh planet in our solar system, like Saturn this planet has ring too. But, not as big as the Saturn's. Neptune is the eight planet in our solar system. Like Saturn and Uranus, these planets are very far. These planets are very cold because their distance between them and the sun are very far. These cold planets can't be a living place for us cause of the cold of the planets.

Farther than Neptune, there are many things like the others planets and the space things, most of them aren't unidentified yet because of their distance. In this distance, there are some planet like Pluto, Haumea, Makemake, and Iris. Pluto is the ninth planet in our solar system, this planet has an unique orbit because this planet's orbit form almost oval-round, so sometime, this planet become more near to the sun than Neptune this planet is smaller than our Earth and very cold beacuse of it's distance. So, this planet can't be a living place for us.

Haumea ,Makemake, and Iris are some planets that recently found. Most of them are unidentified yet. Beside these planets, Ceres, the largest asteroids in the asteroids belt is identified as a planet now because scientists who disagree with the IAU definition believe in a broader definition of planet that includes any non-self-luminous spheroidal body orbiting a star. When objects become spheroidal, that means they have enough self gravity to pull themselves into a round shape and subsequently become geologically differentiated into core, mantle, and crust, just like the larger planets and unlike shapeless, inert asteroids (planetoids). By this definition, our solar system has 13 planets: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Ceres, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto, Haumea, Makemake, and Eris.

After seen the explanation above, you may know why only in earth there are many living things. This because there are many things that support many life. This statement has proved by the amount of life in our earth. These many things that support many life are prepared by "something" that was very great. He is ALLAH the creator and the lord of everything.
