An Earth analog, also called an Earth twin or second Earth, is a planet or moon with environmental conditions similar to those found on Earth. The term Earth-like planet is also used, but this term ma
Artist's representation of a hypothetical habitable exoplanet with three natural satellites
Percival Lowell depicted Mars as a dry but Earth-like planet and habitable for an extraterrestrial civilisation.
Size comparisons: Kepler-20e and Kepler-20f with Venus and Earth
Surfaces like this of Saturn's moon Titan (taken by Huygens probe) bear superficial similarities to the floodplains of Earth.
Kepler-186f is a candidate Earth-sized exoplanet orbiting within the habitable zone of the red dwarf star Kepler-186, the outermost of five planets discovered around the star by NASA's Kepler space te
Earth analog
…Kepler-20f < 14.3 1.03 Slightly larger and likely more massive, far too hot to be Earth-like. Tau Ceti g >1.75 Extremely hot. Not known to transit. Kepler-186f 1.1 Candidate planet. Orbits in the habitable zone. Earth 1 1 Orbits in habitable zone. Venus 0.815 0.949 Much hotter. Kepler-20e < 3.08 0.87 Too hot…
Artist's depiction of Kepler-186f (foreground) as a rocky Earth-like planet in the habitable zone, with the Kepler-186 system visible in the background (bottom left). The actual appearance and composition of the exoplanet is not currently known.
