According to a new study by astronomers, there are 45 planets that could be our best bet for finding alien life.

They were selected from more than 6,000 identified planets. All of them have rocky surfaces and could, in theory, contain water.

Some of them even have weather systems - including cloud cover, humidity, and wind patterns - similar to what we experience on Earth.
