2. EARTH
The only planet that we know to
have life so far .Among millions of
galaxies in this massive universe
spreading across decillions of light
years.
3. GLIESE 667C
Gliese 667Cc lies just 22 light-years from
Earth, and is at least 4.5 times as massive
as Earth, according to NASA's Jet
Propulsion Laboratory. Gliese 667Cc
completes one orbit around its host star in
a mere 28 days, but that star is a red dwarf
considerably cooler than the sun, so the
exoplanet is thought to lie in the habitable
zone.
4. KEPLER 22B
Kelper-22b lies 600 light-years away. It
was the first Kepler planet found in the
habitable zone of its parent star, but the
world is considerably larger than Earth
about 2.4 times our planet's size.
5. KEPLER 69C
Kepler-69c which is about 2,700 light-years
away, is about 70 percent larger than
Earth. So, once again, researchers are
unsure about its composition .The planet
completes one orbit every 242 days.
However, Kepler-69c's host star is about
80 percent as luminous as the sun, so the
planet appears to be in the habitable zone.
6. KEPLER 186F
This planet is at most 10 percent larger
than Earth, and it also appears to reside in
the habitable zone of its star, though on the
zone's outer edge; Kepler-186f receives
just one-third of the energy from its star
that Earth gets from the sun.Kepler-186f's
parent star is a red dwarf, so the alien
world is not a true Earth twin. The planet
lies about 500 light-years from Earth.
7. KEPLER 442B
Kepler-442b is 33 percent larger than
Earth and completes an orbit of its star
every 112 days. The discovery of Kepler-
442, situated 1,194 light-years away from
Earth. Researchers found that this
exoplanet may receive enough light to
sustain a large biosphere. The researchers
analyzed the likelihood of different planets
being able to carry out photosynthesis.
They found that Kepler-442b receives
sufficient radiation from its star.
8. KEPLER 452B
Kepler-452b is 60 percent larger than
Earth and its parent star (Kepler-452) is 10
percent larger than the sun. Kepler-452 is
very similar to our sun, and the exoplanet
orbits in the habitable zone. At 1.6 times
the size of Earth, Kepler-452b has a "better
than even chance" of being rocky, its
discoverers have said. Kepler-452b
resides 1,400 light-years from Earth. It
takes Kepler-452b just 20 days longer to
orbit its star than Earth does.
9. KEPLER-1649C
Kepler-1649c is located 300 light-years
from Earth and is only 1.06 times larger
than it. When comparing the light that the
two planets receive from their stars,
scientists found that this exoplanet
receives 75 percent of the light Earth does
from the sun.
10. PROXIMA
CENTAURI B
Proxima Centauri b is located just four
light-years away from Earth, making it
Earth's closest known exoplanet,
according to NASA Exoplanet Exploration.
The exoplanet, which was discovered in
2016, has a mass that is 1.27 times that of
Earth’s . Although the exoplanet can be
found in the habitable zone of its star,
Proxima Centauri, it is exposed to extreme
ultraviolet radiation.
11. TRAPPIST-1E
Water on most of these planets is likely to
have evaporated early in the system's
formation, Space.com previously reported.
However, a 2018 study found that some of
these planets could hold more water than
Earth's oceans. One of the worlds, called
TRAPPIST-1e, is thought to be the most
likely to support life as we know it.
