This year, astronomers from NASA have discovered an planet that is much like Earth and is calling it Earth 2.0. Also known as Kepler 452b, the planet revolves around a star that is similar to ours and has an orbit of 385 days which is 20 more days than Earth'orbit. The planet is 1,400 light years away from Earth and is in the constellation of Cygnus. It is located in it's star's habitable zone which is a region of life-sustaining water liquid that is possible to be on a planet's surface. This new planet's gravity is twice of Earth's gravity and is on the edge of being rocky like Earth and being a gas giant like Neptune.
