Solution

Astronomers have discovered the first Earth-size planet orbiting a star in the ‘habitable zone’ — the range of distance from a star where liquid water might pool on the surface of an orbiting planet.

  • The discovery of Kepler-186f confirms that planets the size of Earth exist in the habitable zone of stars other than our sun.
  • The Earth-like world is about 1.9 times the size of our planet.
  • Kepler-452b a planet sometimes quoted to be an Earth 2.0 or Earth’s Cousin based on its characteristics, also known by its Kepler Object of Interest designation KOI-7016.01 is a super-Earth exoplanet orbiting within the inner edge of the habitable zone of the Sun-like star Kepler-452 and is the only planet in the system discovered by Kepler.
