Kepler 22b Kepler-22b, just 2.4 times the size of Earth, is the first planet known to comfortably circle in the habitable zone of a sun-like star. Scientists do not yet know if the planet has a rocky, gaseous, or liquid composition. It’s possible that the world would have clouds in its atmosphere, as depicted here.NASA/Ames/JPL-Caltech
