I don't think that there are other humans in the universe because we and the scientists know that Earth is the only planet where you can actually live a life on, bacause of it's oxygen and the amount of the gravity and the mass that Earth has and not really the other planets.

Planets rotate because of angular momentum. Angular momentum makes orbital rotations and motions, making planets rotate.

They also figured out that if it was out there it would be 1200 A.U. from the Sun. So, maybe there could be a ninth planet.

We could because it's the right distance away from its sun and it's atmospher would help keep water on its surface liquid. then others say that water or liquid would freeze because it's on the outer edge of the habital zone so we could or couldn't. we need to find more information first to know for sure.

Answer: Yes, the sun will die out eventually like every star. The sun is a G2U star, that is very very hot, providing enough heat for life hear on earth. The sun is a yellow dwarf, and is going to die out, but scientists predict us, and our very future relatives will never live in the time period when the sun dies out. But when the sun dies out, life here on earth will not live any longer, due to how much the sun provides.

The two main components are Alpha Centauri A and Alpha Centauri B. The third star is a red dwarf called Proxima Centauri and this star system is thought to be 4.22 light years distance and is our sun's closest neighbor among the stars. Scientist think that Alpha-Centauri can hold life because of how the conditions are almost perfect for a star system to hold life. First, Alpha Centauri is a star system that scientist have kept their eye on to find any form of life. Scientist also say that they think that there is a chance there might be able to have life in this star system because of the conditions the solar system is in. In conclusion, it is possible for Alpha-Centauri to hold life because of what perfect conditions the star system is in.
