@bearnard45,
Wikipedia keeps a list of Earth like exoplanets. You can find it here.

@engineer,
I guess that this planet is not completely like Earth. Scientists used to think that Venus is the second Earth but when we had got deeper, we found out that because of the temperature and pressure humans just can`t survive over there.
What do you think?

@bearnard45,
These planets are all far away. The best we can say is it is the right size, the right composition and the right distance from its star, so likely the right temperature. We don't know a lot about these planets, but it is interesting to think about.

@engineer,
We also know that it is tidally locked to its star with a high radiation environment from the frequent stellar flares so likely no atmosphere and no life.

@bearnard45,
That's the problem with red dwarf stars. Their output is so weak and feeble that the habitable zone is too close to the star.

There is an advantage to having a weak and feeble star: they are very long lived. But orange dwarfs are preferable because, being slightly warmer, the habitable zone is a safer distance from the star.

@bearnard45,
So it's better to look at orange dwarf stars. They don't last nearly as long as red dwarfs (orange stars tend to have a useful life of 10 to 30 billion years depending on size), but the environment is much better.

Additionally, instead of Earth-like planets, we should look for super-Earths (planets that are even more favorable than Earth).

@oralloy,
I guess the term I should have used is superhabitable.

The term super-Earth just means more massive without regard to habitability.

@oralloy,
Have you ever heard about Ariel space telescope? This is the space mission that is aimed at surveying planets found beyond our solar system, otherwise known as exoplanets or extrasolar planets, in order to study the formation and evolution of their atmospheres. Do you have any details about this mission or what do you think about that mission at all?
