问题     Recent developments in astronomy have made is possible to detect planets in our own Milky Way and in other galaxies. This is a major achievement because, in relative terms, planets are very small and do not emit light. Finding planets is proving hard enough, but finding life on Earth will prove infinitely more difficult. The first question to answer is whether a planet can actually support life. In our own solar system, for example, Venus is far too hot and Mars is far too cold to support life. Only the Earth provides ideal conditions, and even here it has taken more than four billion years for plant and animal life to evolve. Whether a planet can support life depends on the size and brightness of its star, that is its "sun". Imagine a star up to twenty times larger, brighter and hotter than our own sun. A planet would have to be a very long way from it to be capable of supporting life.
选项
答案天文学方面的最新发展使得我们能够在银河系和其他星系发现行星。这是一个重要的成就。因为相对来说，行星很小，而且也不发光。寻找行星被证明是相当困难的，但是要在行星上发现生命将被证明更加艰难。第一个需要解答的问题是，一颗行星是否有能够维持生命的条件。举例来说，在我们的太阳系里，对于生命来说，金星的温度太高，而火星的温度则太低。只有地球提供了理想的条件，而即使在这里，植物和动物的进化也用了40亿年的时间。一颗行星是否能够维持生命取决于它的恒星——即它的“太阳”——的大小和亮度。设想一下，如果一颗恒星比我们的太阳还要大，还要亮，还要热20倍。那么一颗行星为了维持生命，就要离它的恒星非常远。
