welcome to VigyanJagat welcome to a whole newworld of planet science one day the earth will be destroyed completely where will you go how will you survive well don't worry because we humans found somenew earth-like planets as a back-up plan where we can live or at least be able to survive.
- Number 10.
Kepler 438b the exoplanets Kepler 438B was first discovered in 2015 and located 470 light-years away Kepler 438B was deemed one of the most earth-like planets ever discovereddue to its Earth's similarity index or ESI which is 88% similar to earth hencemaking it a suitable candidate for the potential of life kepler-438 b is just12% larger and receives 40% more light compared to the earth but still it'smissing some necessary qualities for habitation such as it doesn't have aproper atmosphere and the planets nearby star emits flares 10 times more powerfulthan our Sun this planet might be the second option if it has a magnetic fieldlike our planet
Number 9.
kepler-452b kepler-452b was firstdiscovered in july 2015 which is an exoplanet and also known as super earthmoreover kepler-452b is around five times the mass of Earth it completes afull orbit in 385 days but due to its large size it also has twice the gravitycompared to earth and receives more sun energy making it hotter than Earth butstill it's a good candidate for hosting life if we're ever able to reach kepler452b unfortunately the planet is 45,000 light-years away whichmeans if we travel in a spaceship at a speed of 37,000 miles per hour then 26million years is needed to get there well then cryogenic preservation and agereversing agents will be mandatory requirements for this journey althoughfour or five to be mirrors earth but it is highly susceptible to the greenhouseeffect so it could become a giant ball of hot death by the time we arrive there.Be careful!
- Number 8.
Proxima B, Proxima beat isan exoplanet which is 4.2 light years away from the earth and first discoveredin August 2016 Proxima B orbits the habitable zone of a red dwarf star namedProxima Centauri and has the potential for survivable living conditions due tothe presence of water this exoplanet is actually 30% bigger than the earth andits one-year is equal to 11 days which means you'll be having birthday partiesa lot more often so many birthday gifts although it has an earth similaritiesindex or ESI of 0.87 still it has some significant downsides such as itreceives only 2% of light from its nearby Sun and there are violent stellarwinds that are 2,000 times stronger than those on earth number
- Number. 7
kepler 186f kepler-186f is an exoplanet discoveredby the Kepler space observatory in April 2014this rocky planet orbits near the outer rim of its Sun habitable zone and nearlyten percent bigger than Earth and almost has similar radius but it is 500light-years away from us and it's one year consists of a total of 130 dayshaving an earth similarity index of 0.61 and only receives 33% of sunlightcompared to earth that means its brightest day will be similar to eveningtime on the earth kepler 186f rotates a much more slowly than Earth so it's daycould be weeks or months long 186f may be tidally locked which means one sideof the planet is always facing its star and the other is in constant darknessthe gravity on kepler 186f could be very similar to Earth's and there is somepossibility that it has an atmosphere that can help keep the water in liquidform that's why scientists have described kepler 186f as a cousin to earth.
- Number.6
kepler-62f this planet isalso known as super earth and discovered in April 2013 kepler-62f is situated inthe habitable zone of a seven billion year old star 62f has Earth's similarityindex of 0.67 and is 1.4 times of Earth having slightly smaller and cooler thanour Sun unfortunately this rocky planet is earth like Waterworld which containsoceans are at least ice in either case this planet is an excellent candidatefor alien life and feasible for hosting human life 62f takes 267 days tocomplete a full orbit around its Sun and receives 41% of the sunlightcompared to earth however the planet might be tidally locked in orbit whichmeans one side facing the hot Sun while the other will be in complete darknessso humans can only survive at the border between light and dark area where thetemperature is suitable to support life
- Number. 5
Bly 667cc this planet is Mars'scousin and you can see all of the suns in fact it's a part of the uppermentioned 3 star system which is 23.62 light-years away from us it's threepoint eight times the size of Earth has a rocky surface and it has 85%similarity to earth it's on the slightly hot edge of the habitable zone withtemperatures ranging in 250 4.3 Kelvin or negative 18 point 8 degrees Celsiusand it receives the 90% of the light of Earth one side is completely shrouded ineternal darkness while the other is continuously facing towards the reddwarf it's believed that between these hemispheres there is a probable chanceto get an area of suitable temperature that will support human life
- Number. 4
Kepler 62e it's 1.6 times larger thanEarth has a rocky surface with the high probability of water and may be coveredwith oceans it's 1 year is 122 days long and 1,200 light-years away from us justa side note all planets in this list are larger than Earth and that's why theyare called super Earths which means they are larger than ourplanet would have similar characteristics that an exoplanet hascloudy sky warm and humid everywhere other than the polar caps and itsstellar flux is 20% more than earth enough to trigger a runway greenhouseeffect which can decrease the chance of habitability.
- Number. 3
lies 58 1ggleise 581g is also known as zarmeeneh which is 20 light years away from Earthdiscovered by astronomer Steve invoked in 2010 it's one year lasts for 67 daysbut unfortunately this planet is tidally locked with the Sun if a strongatmosphere exists on the planet it could circulate the heat from the sunny sideover to the dark side making it much more habitable hence it is possible forwater to exist there with at least one ocean gleise 581gis 1.5 times the size of Earth having temperatures between negative 35and 10 degrees Fahrenheit due to the weaker energy output from its small Sunall these features increase the chances of life on 581 G up to 100% which is anextremely optimistic presumption
- Number. 2
Kepler 22b Kepler 22b is an exoplanetthat orbits in the inner edge of the sun's habitable zone which is 600light-years away from us and discovered in December 2011 Kepler 22b is twice thesize of Earth and has a year of 290 days with a temperature of negative 11degrees Celsius in the worst case while 22 degrees Celsius in the best case soit's reasonable for Humanity to survive here but it won't be a similarexperience to earth 22 B's outer shell is likely to be composed mostly ofeither liquid or gas and the most optimistic estimate is that it's liquidwater combined with the greenhouse effected atmosphere it likely keeps theplanet at suitable temperatures if something happens to earth this waterrich planet is the place where we will probably move to because it's a primecontender for our next home world when we arrived there in the futurethere is a high possibility that we will be encountered by a lot of possiblealien lives that may have evolved in the outer liquid layer
- Number. 1
Mars okayyou knew this honestly speaking we humans have limited time and limitedtechnology to find a suitable home planet that is far away from us it makessense to look next door Mars could be the next permanent homefor us and we may be able to see it happen in our lifetimedefinitely this red planet could be a great candidate for life with itsancient water rich soil sufficient amount of sunlight and a similar daylength that is only 40 minutes longer than Earth Mars gravity is 38% weakercompared to the earth but still within the acceptable range for us to survivethere are high chances to successfully tear for Mars because of its thinatmosphere that already protects the planet from the sun's radiation couldhold oxygen and become breathable companies like SpaceX are currentlytraining teams of astronaut settlers for colonizing Mars with the first groupblasting off in 2031 we could literally see homes on Mars in our very nearfuture.
