      I think all life needs basic stuff like a source of energy (food) and perhaps water. I don’t know what it would be like on other planet as that depends on the planet.

      We’ve evolved in to the best possible shape for this planet with its gravity. If gravity is greater, aliens might be 2 foot tall and very broad, if gravity was less, aliens might be extremely tall! There might be other things in the environment that influences what life looks like.
