  Do we actually know that fire only exists on Earth? I mean, oxygen and carbon likely exist on other planets.

  I didn’t watch the video, maybe it addresses that.

      The video didn’t really address the possibility that other planets might also undergo similar processes of evolution. It’s certainly the only one we know of, at least.

  That’s interesting. I’m trying to think of something inorganic that would burn.

    fuels like methane are fairly common outside of earth, but what isn’t common is O2 to oxidize the reaction.
