Kepler-22b was given its the designation Kepler as it is one of many planets discovered by the Kepler observatory. The 22b refers to it being the innermost (and only known) planet orbiting the star Kepler-22.
No. Kepler-22b is between the sizes of Earth and Neptune. The largest known planet is HAT-P-32b which gas about twice the radius of Jupiter.
Kepler 22b was not discovered by an individual, but by NASA's Kepler Space Telescope in December 2011. The telescope detected the planet as part of the Kepler mission's search for exoplanets within the habitable zone of their stars.
Kepler-22b is not the biggest planet. In fact, it is classified as a super-Earth, meaning it is larger than Earth but smaller than Uranus or Neptune. Some exoplanets discovered by astronomers are much larger than Kepler-22b.
Some evidence suggests Kepler-22b may have at least one moon, but it is not confirmed.
Kepler-22b is indeed a real planet. While some evidence suggests that it may be capable of supporting life, we currently have now way of detecting if it does. So far Earth is still the only known planet to have life.
There is no planet named Kepler. There are, however, many planets with designations such as Kepler-22b. These planets are named as such because they were discovered using the Kepler spacecraft. The spacecraft is named after Johannes Kepler, a 16th-17th century astronomer who defined the laws of planetary motion.

No. Kepler-22b is between the sizes of Earth and Neptune. The largest known planet is HAT-P-32b which gas about twice the radius of Jupiter.
Kepler-22b is smaller than Jupiter. Jupiter is the largest planet in our solar system, while Kepler-22b is an exoplanet located outside of our solar system and is estimated to be approximately 2.4 times the size of Earth.
Kepler 22b was not discovered by an individual, but by NASA's Kepler Space Telescope in December 2011. The telescope detected the planet as part of the Kepler mission's search for exoplanets within the habitable zone of their stars.
Kepler-22b is not the biggest planet. In fact, it is classified as a super-Earth, meaning it is larger than Earth but smaller than Uranus or Neptune. Some exoplanets discovered by astronomers are much larger than Kepler-22b.
Gliese 581g is an exoplanet orbiting the star Gliese 581, while Kepler-22b is an exoplanet orbiting the star Kepler-22. Gliese 581g is located about 20 light-years from Earth in the constellation Libra, while Kepler-22b is located about 600 light-years away in the constellation Cygnus. Additionally, Gliese 581g is a controversial discovery and its existence is still debated, while Kepler-22b is a confirmed exoplanet.
No. Kepler-22b is between the size of Earth and Neptune.
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.
I assume you mean "Kepler 22B". It refers to a recently discovered planet.
Some evidence suggests Kepler-22b may have at least one moon, but it is not confirmed.
Yes, planet Kepler exists. Kepler is the name of a star, Kepler-186, which has several confirmed exoplanets orbiting around it. One of these exoplanets is called Kepler-186f, located in the habitable zone of its star.
