Abundance of Exoplanets Increases Odds of Finding Life

The discovery of over 3,500 exoplanets since 1988 indicates the abundance of planets in the universe, increasing the likelihood of finding life. This revelation revolutionizes our understanding of planetary existence and the potential for life incubation. Previously unknown to be so common, the number of nearby exoplanets drastically improves the odds of obtaining answers regarding the existence of extraterrestrial life. Had planets been rare, studying them would have been challenging due to the vast distances between solar systems. Therefore, the abundance of planets significantly enhances our prospects of finding answers about life beyond Earth.
