Think about it. The possibilities are endless. Of the planets we've detected around distant stars at least one is 4 times the size of Jupiter but orbits its sun at a distance equal to earths. Any life that developed on it would have to overcome enormous gravitational forces and likely radiation. But that doesnt mean it can't.

I watched Star Trek. Not all lives are carbon based.

Think of it this way -- life exists where water is liquid, not gaseous (vapour) or solid (ice) and that's only between 0C and 100 C (273 and 373 K)
