Have you ever wondered if humans can live on planets other than Earth? With so many star systems and planets in the universe, the likelihood that we will find other habitable planets is very high. Perhaps we will someday live on …
Gliese 180 c
This planet is 38 light-years from our solar system and its surface conditions are similar to those on Earth. It is 6.4 times the size of our planet.
Kepler-440b
This planet orbits its orange dwarf star in 101 days. Some believe that it is composed of gases. If so, then it is not fit for life. But who knows, maybe its surface will be solid.

Kepler-1638b
It is believed that this planet is more like Earth than many other exoplanets. It is 60% larger than Earth and revolves around a star very similar to our sun. There is a possibility that there is water on it.
LHS 1140 b
On a newly discovered planet, a year lasts only 25 days. It is larger than Earth and provides proof that red dwarfs can live for trillions of years. And while red dwarfs can be violent, this planet seems to be the exception to the rule.
TRAPPIST-1g
This planet lies about 40 light-years away in the constellation Aquarius. It is about 10% larger than Earth and orbits its star in 12 days. If you were standing on the surface of this planet, you would probably see many other planets in the vicinity.
Luyten b
Scientists are so convinced that this planet may have conditions for the existence of living forms that they sent coded messages to aliens. The planet is 12.4 light years away and 3 times the size of Earth.
Kepler-186F
This is the first planet with a radius close to Earth, found in the habitable zone of another star. It is 500 light years away and orbits its star every 130 days.
Wolf 1061c
Located just 14 light-years away, it is one of the closest exoplanets to us. It is located in the constellation Ophiuchus and revolves around its star for 18 days. It differs from the Earth in its greater mass and size.
Kepler-452b
Although this planet is 60% larger than Earth, the temperature here is the same as on our planet. It makes a complete revolution around its star, which is similar to our Sun, in about 385 Earth days.
Kepler-442b
This planet is potentially more habitable than ours. The calculated value of comparative suitability for habitation near the Earth is 0.829, and for Kepler-442b - 0.836. Unfortunately, this planet is 1,100 light-years away, and unless we can build super-fast spaceships, we won't be getting there anytime soon.
Proxima Centauri b
The planet is only 4 light-years away and has a mass 1.3 times that of Earth. On the surface of the planet, the temperature is -40 C, and it receives 60 times more high-energy radiation - this is too much radiation for earthlings. But given the development of modern technology, the planet is still regarded as a likely candidate for settlement.
Mars
NASA is currently looking for ways to make Mars more livable in the future. For this, it is even planned to send an artificial magnetic field to Mars, which will help the planet restore its atmosphere.
