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...

Does the planet Kepler really exist?

There is a bit of confusion here. Kepler is not the name of a planet but of a space telescope used to discover planets in other solar systems. Planets discovered with this telescope are given designations such as Kepler-22b. This telescope has been used to discovered hundreds of planets.


What is the distance between planet earth and planet Kepler?

There is no planet Kepler. Designations such as Kepler-69c are given to planets discovered by the Kepler spacecraft. This spacecraft has discovered planets ranging from 100 to 7,000 light years away.


Who is bigger planet earth or planet Kepler?

There is no single planet named Kepler, rather it is part of the designation given to planets discovered using the Kepler telescope. Most of the planets discovered using the telescope are larger than Earth, but some are smaller.


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.


How much water does Kepler the planet have?

There is no single planet named Kepler; rather Kepler is a prefix added to the designations of planets discovered by the Kepler telescope. Several planets discovered by Kepler, including Kepler-438b, Kepler-442b, Kepler 440b, and Kepler 296f, orbit in the habitable zones of their stars, which means they might have liquid water on their surfaces. Currently we do not have the technology to determine if they actually have liquid water.

What is the diameter of the planet kepler?

There are lots of planets in the Kepler series. To answer your question, we need to know to which number Kepler you are asking about.


Does Planet Kepler exist?

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.


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.
