Question
What exoplanet is most like Earth?
Solution
The exoplanet most like Earth, in terms of size and potential habitability, is Kepler-452b. It's located in the constellation Cygnus, about 1,400 light years away from Earth. Kepler-452b orbits its star in what's known as the "habitable zone"—the area around a star where conditions could be just right for liquid water to exist on a planet's surface. However, we don't know yet if Kepler-452b has an atmosphere or water.
