a planet discovered like earth

Intro
For many years we have been searching for signs of life on other planets, or at least evidence that supports it. We don't want to be alone in this universe and want to know if humans can live elsewhere

At present we have made great strides in that endeavor.

Astronomers say they have found evidence of water on a 'Earth-like' planet 110 light years away.

K2-18b planet

The planet, named K2-18B, was one of the possible planets discovered in 2015 by the Kepler space telescope. These planets, which resemble our own planet, are in the habitable zone near their mother star. This means they may contain water.

Frankly speaking, the planet K2-18b actually has a vapor foil in its atmosphere

University College London

Two different groups of scientists announced this week that they have found evidence of air vapor in the air. One of those is a study led by Angelos Sears of the London University College Space Exochemistry Data Center (CSET) published today. The other is a study led by Bjன்rn Bennage of the University of Montreal yesterday

Super Earth

'This is the only planet with the right temperature and water outside the solar system,' Sierras told reporters during a telephone conversation. He and his colleagues, however, point out that this is not an Earth-like planet. It can actually be called a super earth. Because it's eight times bigger than our world

Only 33 days

Additionally, the star K2-18b is a red dwarf planet which is much smaller and cooler than our Sun. That is why even though this planet is so close to its star, it is still in the habitable zone. However, this also implies that a year on the planet K2-18B is only 33 days on Earth

The tide may be locked

Scientists have previously said that the planet may be "locked in by the waves" because of its rapid orbit. That is, the red dwarf star shows only one side, as the moon always shows us the same side. But that wouldn't be a problem.

CSET's Ingo Waldman said, 'Even the planet locked by the waves is capable of surviving. Ing. So this is basically some work that can be done but is doable

In fact, life on the planet K2-18B may be very different than Earth. But Sierras says it won't stop astronomers. After all, we don't have to search for a planet like Earth. Suitable for survival
