There was an other planet which may support life, same as earth, which has been found by Europeans along with 50 other planets outside the solar system at a conference in Moran, Wyo. The most exciting thing of those planets is, only the second to be confirmed as lying in what astronomers call the habitable zone, or the Goldilocks zone.
It means that it's not too hot and not too cold for liquid water to be present. As we know that scientists always says that water is the key thing to survive each and every step of our life, only one of the past discoveries of such Goldilocks planets has held up..
The new planet, called HD85512b, closely circles a star about 35 light-years from Earth in the constellation Vela. Each light-year is 5.8 trillion miles. There are only 60 days a year. The only reason behind that is, it might not be too hot for life, that’s why the sun is about 1,800 degrees cooler than our sun.
It is about 3.6 times the mass of Earth. The temperature ranges from 85 to 120 degrees with plenty of humidity.
This new planet would need to be rocky and solid like our own, not primarily made of gas, for it to be a Goldilocks planet.
Atleast 60% of it would have to be covered in clouds for it to be considered livable by astronomers as the earth has about 50% cloud cover, so 60% seems to be reasonable.
