The super-Earth GJ 1214b, which has 6.5 times the mass of our Earth, orbits its star once every 38 hours at a distance of only 1.3 million miles. Astronomers estimate the planet¹s temperature to be about 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Although warm as an oven, it is still cooler than any other known transiting planet because it orbits a very dim star. Since GJ1214b crosses in front of its star, astronomers were able to measure its radius, which is about 2.7 times that of Earth. This makes GJ1214b one of the two smallest transiting worlds astronomers have discovered to date

this planet has an atmospere filed with clouds do to the harsh tempitures of the ground. and the water in gas form spred across the planet evenly distrabuting the rainfall all around it,soon the water cools the crust just as it did to our planet.

Although it is too hot to sustain most life. all but archaebacteria becuase it has the ability to be in extreme tempitures! becuase it is a life form it strives to evolve...life is determanded to exist, if it starts to not exist then it changes its form to cope with the enviornment. to keep "being".
but the planets sun is quite dim they would have to evolve to not see but listen...sonar like a bat who also dont see much light.

so if they do exist out there i hope they are logical/spiritual/or highly inteligent.
but probably just 2 of the 3:cool: http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/science/space/article6959588.ece

and if you think there is no oxigen..the only reason our planet has 90% of its oxigen is becuase of cellular resporation. if it werent for life we would have green oceans becuase of the iron abundance.and a atmospere filled with nitrogen. so life transforms a planet!
