NASA finds earth like planet there is a year of 12.8 days know about it

Earth like Planet: Scientists searching for life outside the Earth have achieved great success. According to a report, the US space agency NASA has discovered a ‘magical’ world with the help of a space telescope. This is an exoplanet, whose size is equal to our Earth and it is also very close to our solar system. Remember that planets that revolve around a star other than the Sun are called exoplanets.

According to Space.com, the exoplanet that has been discovered is named Gliese 12 b. This planet orbits a small and cold red dwarf star. The distance of the planet is about 40 light years from our Earth. NASA discovered the exoplanet with the help of the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS). Its width is estimated to be about 1.1 times that of Earth. Because of this, apart from our Earth, it also seems equal to Venus.

The exoplanet named Gliese 12 b orbits its star very closely. A year on this planet is completed in about 12.8 Earth days. The star around which Gliese 12 b orbits is smaller than our Sun and also cooler. Despite being close to its star and orbiting it quickly, this exoplanet may be suitable for habitation.

Scientists estimate that this planet is neither too hot nor too cold for the presence of liquid water. However, scientists do not have accurate information about its atmosphere. Scientists are hoping that they will get more information about it in the coming days.

However, this is not the first time a planet the size of Earth has been discovered. Scientists have already discovered such exoplanets, but the possibility of life has not been seen in any of them till now. More than 5 thousand exoplanets have been discovered so far outside our solar system.
