1. Is the Solar System unique or rare?


Our Solar System is unique and also rare. It is unique in the sense that the only
planet we know of so far that is inhabited by living things is located in our solar system
which is the Planet Earth. While, it is rare in a sense that there are also stars with
planets orbiting them but are uncommon.
2. What is the possibility of finding a similar system within the Milky Way Galaxy?
The possibility of finding a similar system within the Milky Way Galaxy is 100%.
In fact, astronomers discovered more than 2,500 other stars with planets orbiting them.
Although there is a large number of exoplanetary systems in our galaxy, it remains to be
rare because of its ratio to the stars and heavenly bodies in our galaxy.
3. What about an Earth-like planet?
Based on studies in 2013, there could be as many as 40 billion Earth-sized
planets orbiting within the Milky Way Galaxy. But an Earth-like planet that may pertain
to a planet that can sustain and be inhabited by living organisms, there is only one,
which is the Earth; but, there could be a possibility after deep expeditions in the vast
exploration in our galaxy.
