The Drake Equation The Drake Equation Provides an estimate of how many planets there are in the Solar System that may harbor technically communicative life-forms. Provides an estimate of how many planets there are in our galaxy that may harbor technically communicative life-forms. Provides an estimate of how many planets there are in our galaxy that may harbor life-forms of any kind, no matter how primitive they may be. Provides an estimate of how many planets there are in the Universe that may harbor technically communicative life-forms.

Provides an estimate of how many planets there are in our galaxy that may harbor technically communicative life-forms.

Explanation:

A planet can be defined as a large celestial body having sufficient mass to allow for self-gravity and make it assume a nearly circular shape (hydrostatic equilibrium), revolves in an orbit around the Sun in the solar system and has a cleared neighborhood.

Basically, the planets are divided into two (2) main categories and these includes;

I. Outer planets: these planets are beyond the asteroid belt and comprises of jupiter, saturn, uranus and neptune, from left to right of the solar system.

II. Inner planets: these planets are the closest to the sun and comprises of mercury, venus, earth and mars.

These outer planets are made mostly of gases (hydrogen and helium) causing them to be less dense than the solid inner planets. These gases are generally known to be less dense in terms of physical properties.

Some examples of the planet are Mars, Venus, Earth, Mercury, Neptune, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, etc.

The Drake equation provides an estimate of how many planets there are in our galaxy that may harbor technically communicative life-forms. It is a probabilistic mathematical expression.

The correct answer would be:

B.

the number of communicating civilizations in the cosmos

Have a nice day!

it has to be b, about 97 percent.
