Scientists are conducting space exploration to detect Earth's twin planets. According to them, this will help make a big impact regarding the future of our planet.

In 2015, NASA announced the discovery of a twin planet of the Earth called Kepler-452b, and called it "the most similar exoplanet with Earth", its satellite was found to be very similar to the Sun. It revolves around its star in almost the same way as our planet: in 385 days, it makes a full revolution around its axis. Its radius is 60% larger than that of the Earth, which will play a significant role in the case of its detailed study, researchers report.

According to scientists, in order to find the exact twin of the Earth, you first need to look for a star similar to the Sun: it must be approximately the same age and have identical properties.

“If we want to find a twin of the Earth, then we need a star with the same metallicity as the Sun. And there are 7.5 percent of such planets in our galaxy, which provides a huge scale for study,”experts say.
