Jupiter cannot support life as we know it. But some of Jupiter's moons have oceans beneath their crusts that might support life.

What is Jupiter's ability to support life?
Scientists may have ruled out alien life on Venus, but Jupiter still holds promise. Studying probes that visited other planets, researchers found that Jupiter's clouds have a high enough concentration of water, and a viable temperature, for life to exist — assuming other requirements, like nutrients, are also present.
Is Jupiter capable of supporting life?
Jupiter's environment is probably not conducive to life as we know it. The temperatures, pressures, and materials that characterize this planet are most likely too extreme and volatile for organisms to adapt to.
Can living things survive on Jupiter?
Living on the surface of Jupiter itself would be difficult, but maybe not impossible. The gas giant has a small rocky core with a mass 10 times less than Earth's, but it's surrounded by dense liquid hydrogen extending out to 90 percent of Jupiter's diameter.
Why does Jupiter Cannot support life?
A: Jupiter is a gas giant, which means it probably does not have a solid surface, and the gas it is made up of would be toxic for us. It is also very far from the sun (sunlight can take over an hour to get there) which means that is it very cold.
What life exists on Jupiter?
The clouds surrounding the planet Jupiter have water conditions that would allow Earth-like life to exist, a research project from the School of Biological Sciences found, led by Dr John Hallsworth. The clouds contain a high enough water concentration, as well as the correct temperature, to sustain life.
Which planet has a life?
Understanding planetary habitability is partly an extrapolation of the conditions on Earth, as this is the only planet known to support life.
Can Jupiter moon Europa support life?
Europa's surface is blasted by radiation from Jupiter. That's a bad thing for life on the surface – it couldn't survive. But the radiation may create fuel for life in an ocean below the surface. The radiation splits apart water molecules (H2O, made of oxygen and hydrogen) in Europa's extremely tenuous atmosphere.
Can we live on Titan?
Robert Zubrin has pointed out that Titan possesses an abundance of all the elements necessary to support life, saying "In certain ways, Titan is the most hospitable extraterrestrial world within our solar system for human colonization." The atmosphere contains plentiful nitrogen and methane.
Does it rain diamonds on Jupiter?
New research by scientists apparently shows that it rains diamonds on Jupiter and Saturn. ... According to the research lightning storms on the planets turn methane into soot which hardens into chunks of graphite and then diamonds as it falls.
Does Saturn support life?
Saturn cannot support life as we know it, but some of Saturn's moons have conditions that might support life.
Can you walk on Jupiter?
There is no firm surface on Jupiter, so if you tried to stand on the planet, you sink down and be crushed by the intense pressure inside the planet. ... If you could stand on the surface of Jupiter, you would experience intense gravity. The gravity at Jupiter's surface is 2.5 times the gravity on Earth.
Who lives on Jupiter?
The planet is a gas giant composed mainly of hydrogen and helium. There is virtually no water to support known life forms. The planet does not have a solid surface for life to develop anywhere except as a floating microscopic organism.
Can you breathe in Jupiter?
There is no oxygen on Jupiter like there is on Earth. The plants on Earth have made the oxygen that we breathe.
What would happen if Jupiter disappeared?
Jupiter, which has a mass three times the combined mass of all the other planets, dominates gravitational interactions within the Solar System. ... With Jupiter gone, the main effect on Earth would be an increase in the rate of impacts from asteroids and other space flotsam.
