All the planets that I am about to mention have similar atmospheric and environmental conditions as Earth. These planets lie within the “Goldilocks zone” meaning they are neither too hot or too cold to support life. And even if there isn’t complete proof for the existence of some of the planets, (due to the massive distance or other objects blocking the view) there is a high probability that they exist. Now, there are two possible reasons you are reading this list- either you want to look at future possible homes for humanity or find out about places where aliens might live. Let’s see what these earth like planets have in store for us.
5. Kepler-62f
This planet is 1.4 times the size of Earth, its sun is slightly smaller and cooler than ours, and it would appear to be of peach color to the naked eye if you were to stand on the surface. It would have a rocky surface but with high probability of water there as well. It is on the target list of SETI for possible life. Sadly its 1200 light years away from us, so the peach sun will have to wait.
4. Gliese 667 Cc
The image on top is an artists impression of what it will look like, it looks similar to mars, and you can see all of the suns, in fact its part of the aforementioned three star system from entry 6. Its 3.8 times the size of the Earth, has a rocky surface, and it has a 85% similarity to Earth. Its on the slightly hot edge of the habitable zone with temperatures ranging in 254.3 K (-18.85°C) and it receives 90% of the light Earth receives.
3. Kepler-62e
Its 1.6 times larger than Earth, it has a rocky surface with a high probability of water. It’s also almost covered by ocean. Its year is 122 days long and its 1200 light years away. Just a side note, all planets I have mentioned thus far are larger than Earth and that’s why they are called “Super Earths” which means that they are larger than our planet, but have similar characteristics. Anyway, back to the planet. It has cloudy sky and is probably “warm and humid” everywhere other than the polar caps.
2. Gliese 581 g
Gliese 581 g is the unconfirmed sibling of its more famous brother Gliese 581 c. It is 1.5 times the size of earth and receives a similar amount of sunlight but before talking about our candidate, lets first talk about its brother. Gliese 581 c is only 20.3 light years way from us, so taking the speed of the fastest man made objects, which are the Helios probes (which I briefly mentioned before) we can travel there in 90,000 years (4,473*20.3). The planet is famous for being one of the first to be considered habitable and having water. Sadly, it turned out that it was too close to the sun, hence no dice. Enter Gliese 581 g- its less known younger brother, the planet might be in the habitable zone (its cold though temperatures ranging from −37 to −12 °C). Its surface is rocky with an atmosphere which would support water. In terms of probability it has the highest chance of harboring life, but it loses to number one, because there is still debate about its existence.
1. Kepler-22b
The planet is about 2.4 times the radius of Earth and has the highest chance of having water in all of the habitable zone planets. If something happens to earth, this is the place we will probably want to move to (if transforming hadn’t already been discovered yet). According to estimates temperatures might be -11°C worst case and 22°C best case scenario, noting the absence or presence of a greenhouse capable atmosphere respectively. Either way, its not that bad. In fact this planet might be so water rich that it might be an “ocean world”. If that is true, there is a huge potential that there might be life there already, someone to keep us company.
