How large can a living thing be?

Is a planet sized organism possible?

What makes a planet life-friendly?

To qualify as potentially life-friendly, a planet must be relatively small (and therefore rocky) and orbit in the “habitable zone” of its star, which is loosely defined as a location where water can exist in liquid form on a world’s surface.

Should we search for life on other planets?

Life on other planets might be like nothing on Earth – it could be life as we don’t know it. But it makes sense, at least at first, to search for something more familiar. Life as we know it should be easier to find.

What does Godzilla look like in real life?
