100 Billion Planets in our Galaxy
Astronomers have calculated how many planets there are per star on average in our galaxy. Since there is an average of one planet per star throughout our galaxy and since we already know that there are about 100 billion stars in our galaxy, this means that there is approximately 100 billion planets in our galaxy. So, the probability of life is high on some of the other 100 billion planets in our galaxy.
