Yes, it is an extra-solar planet orbiting a star about 600 light-years from Earth, and appears to have some Earth-like qualities. It is estimated, however, that it may be 2.4 times as large as Earth, which would pose a significant gravity problem for human visitors there.

What is the name of the newly found planet habitable?
Actually it looks like earth that means it can be a place where we can liveThere was a new planet recently discovered called Kepler-22b. I know the name of the planet sounds rediculous, maybe they should try giving it an actual name rather than a combination. According to scientists, the planet is about 600 light years away from us. The planet is about twice the size of Earth and may even have continents, oceans, and LIFE. This new planet was revealed today, December 6, 2011 so this is very exciting and interesting news (especially for science nerds). The temperatures of this new planet found, are around 22C, which is about equivalent to a warm spring day in the UK. This is the first"super-Earth" known to lie in the "habitable" zone of a Sun-like star. Scientists believe Kepler-22b may not only be habitable, but possibly even inhabited."This discovery supports the growing belief that we live in a universe crowded with life," said Dr Alan Boss, from the Carnegie Institution in Washington DC, who helped identify the planet from data obtained by the Kepler space telescope.Wow, imagine what it would be like if there were actually other humans on this planet. If there are humans it would be amazing to find out what level of intelligence they have, engineering skills, and technology. They could be cave men or they could have already surpassed our technology!
Did Johannes Kepler discover any planets?
No. The planets known in Kepler's time had been known for millennia. The first new planet to be dsicvoered by astronomers was Uranus in 1781, bout 150 years after Kepler died.
What is the new discovered planet called?
The planet which was found past Neptune and is 1 1/2 times the size of Pluto has been given a temporary name 2003 UB313. A permanent name has been requested of the International Astronomical Union but hasn't been released yet.
Who is discover that the planet moved in an elliptical orbit?
It was a German astronomer by the name of Johannes Kepler who did a whole lot of geometrical calculations from new and unusually accurate observations made by Tycho Brahe. Kepler showed that the planets each move in an elliptical orbit and he gave three laws describing exactly how they move, and it was found to be much more accurate than the previous models of Ptolemy and Copernicus. He did not know why they behaved as they did and we had to wait until Isaac Newton explained it using his new theory of gravity.
What is Kepler your new planet?
Yes, it is an extra-solar planet orbiting a star about 600 light-years from Earth, and appears to have some Earth-like qualities. It is estimated, however, that it may be 2.4 times as large as Earth,... but some people can't believe it but it is true...
Can we live at Kepler the new planet?
There is no single planet named Kepler. Planets discovered by the Kepler space telescope are given designations such as Kepler-22b or Kepler-69c. Very little is known about these planets, but most, if not all, would not be habitable for humans.
Is Uranus a twin planet to Earth?
No. Uranus is the twin planet of Neptune. The twin planet of Earth is Venus. There has also been a new planet discovered recently, 600 light years away, called Kepler-22b, which seems to be very identical to planet Earth.
Why are the new planets called Kepler?
Many of the planets discovered in the past few years have designations such as Kepler-22b because they were discovered using the Kepler space telescope.
If the world does end in 2012 where will we go?
My Name is Sadie, And I just want to tell everyone that you do not have to worry about anything. Scientists found out a new Planet called: Kepler 22b you can go and see it on Youtube.com Thanks - Sadie Can
Is the new ninth planet out of our solar system?
The ninth planet of our solar system was Pluto. However - the planet was downgraded from planet status, and is now considered part of the Kepler belt.

Nothing real.
Did nasa find a new Earth?
No, but among the latest of many extrasolar planets found around various stars is Kepler 22b, about 600 light-years from Earth. It was located in 2009 and announced on December 5, 2011. The planet has the most "Earth-like" conditions among the many current candidates. But the planet is thought to be at least 2.4 times as massive as Earth, orbiting slightly closer to its star, and with a different atmosphere. But the surface temperature is thought to be within the same range as Earth. NASA continues to use the Kepler Space Telescope (2009) and the Spitzer Infrared Telescope (2003) to examine extrasolar planets that may fall into what is called the "Goldilocks zone" around a star, where the temperature range is comparable to Earth.
