Abstract

The astrobiology is an interdisciplinary science, combining the methods and the means of physics, biology, chemistry and astronomy. Its main purpose is to find out if the exoplanets are habitable and if so, to confirm life on them. The basic conditions for habitability are the essential ones, like these on the Earth. But additional, essential as well, exist, like the mass of the exoplanet, the atmospheric composition and its location. To find the answer we used basic molecular physics and classical mechanics knowledge. We also proposed a method for exoplanet hunting and conformation and exploration of their atmospheres. With the constantly improving techniques and apparatuses, the answer converts from if to when are we going to find extraterrestrial life, including microbial one.
