Kepler-22b is a extra-solar planet in orbit around Kepler-22, about 600 light years away. It is about 2.5 times the size of Earth, and is estimated to be like a warm Neptune, i.e. mostly seas with a rocky core, or a neptunian gas like planet. The likelihood of life is uncertain, but "not beyond the realm of possibility".
What else can I help you with?
How was the planet Kepler 22b named?
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.
Is Kepler 22b the largest planet?
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.
Is Kepler 22b a real planet and does it have life?
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.
Who discovered Kepler 22b?
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.
Is Kepler 22B the biggest planet?
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.

Is Kepler 22b larger than 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.

Is there life on Kepler 22 b?
It is unknown. So far Earth is the only planet known to have life. Some observations suggest that Kepler-22b might be capable of supporting life. Even if there is life there, we cannot detect it with current technology.
What is the difference between gliese 581g and 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.
Is Kepler 22b bigger than Jupiter?
No. Kepler-22b is between the size of Earth and Neptune.
What is kapler 2 2 B?
I assume you mean "Kepler 22B". It refers to a recently discovered planet.
Why might Kepler 22b have life?
because in has liquid water that could possibly support life.
