Kepler 438 Planets Probability to Host Life
Kepler 438 I (Keparth): The chances for life on Kepler 438 I are considered remote and unlikely due to the intense radiation from its super-flaring red dwarf star, which is thought to have stripped away any atmosphere the planet may have had, making it an uninhabitable environment. While initially promising due to its size and location within the habitable zone, the planet's atmosphere is likely gone, leaving it exposed to harsh radiation that would be devastating to life. However, more research is needed to confirm this.

The planet Kepler 438 I has a possibility of being habitable, but it is unknown if it even has an atmosphere, due to its star's extreme flares. However, Kepler 438 I is a Super Terran sized planet, which might give it an advantage to hold on to an atmosphere despite the flares from its star.
