5 earth like planets where life could be possible


You must have thought that what will happen after the end of the world, like shown in science fiction movies that there is another planet like earth where life can be possible. Let's find out "Here are some planets like earth where life is possible"of.


1. Kepler-62e

In 2009 NASA, launch the space observetory called Kepler to discover earth size planet orbiting other stars. Kepler-62e was discovered in 18 April 2013 by the Kepler spacecraft. Kepler-62e is a exoplanet located about 990 light years from earth in the constellation of Lyra. The planet is 1.6 times the size of the earth. Researchers at Harvard University hypothesize that kepler-62e has very cloudy skies and warm and humid atmosphere all the way to the polar regions.

2. Kepler-62f

Kepler-62f is a neighbour of kepler-62e and they are only 2 habitable planets in the kepler-62 system. Studies shows that the kepler-62f is most likely covered entirely in water, its orbit last 267 days and it is 40% larger than earth it might sound huge to us but it's surprisingly, it is smallest known exoplanet in the habitable zone of the other star.

3. Kepler-22b

Kepler-22b is a exoplanet located 600 light years far from earth in the constellation of Cygnus. Kepler-22b is slightly bigger (2.5) than earth and its orbit is 290 days long. Scientists have not yet been able to find out whether the competition of this planet is rocky, gaseous or liquid but they hypothesize that it has a cloudy atmosphere.

4. Gliese 667Cc

This exoplanet, which located only 22 light years from earth in the constellation of scorpius. Gliese 667Cc was discovered by the European southern Observetory's 3.6- meter telescope in Chile. Gliese 667Cc completes one orbit around its star in 28 days.

5. Proxima b

Proxima b 1.3 times the size of earth. It is the closest temperate world to earth, which means that if you were to travel there, you'd experience almost the same temperature as one earth and it is only 4 light years away from earth. Proxima b orbits the proxima centauri star, which is the closest star to our sun. It is rocky and hot enough to host liquid water.
