Theoretically, life can take many different forms, such as silicon-based life, sulphur-based life, carbon-based life, amino-life, hydrogen-based life, etc. However, so far we only know that life exists on earth, and all known life, including us humans, is carbon-based.

Another Potentially Habitable Planet Has Been Discovered, And The Only Thing Scientists Are Worried About Is The Possibility Of Alien Life
This exoplanet, known as TOI 700d, is about 101.5 light years away from our Earth, which means that even if we were to travel to this exoplanet in a light-speed spacecraft, it would take at least 101.5 years of flight to reach it, so it is very far away

What Is So Special About Gliese 581g, Thought To Be The Most Earth-Like Exoplanet Known?
It has been billions of years since life appeared on earth, and although there are seven planets in our solar system in addition to earth, as well as a number of dwarf planets, moons and other relatively large bodies, so far we have not found alien life on any other planet in our solar system for the time being. Even mars, another earth-like planet in the habitable zone of our solar system, has not found a single sign of life. Could it be that life on earth is really unique and no other planet is allowed to have life?
