10 Planets That Could Potentially Sustain Life
By Robert Grimminck on November 24, 2015 Science
In order for a planet to be habitable or hospitable for life, it needs to meet certain criteria. Just to name a few, they have to be the right distance from a star, they have to be big enough to have a molten center, and the planet needs to have rock. These exoplanets, which are planets outside of our solar system, may not only support life other than our own, but we could also consider these as oases in the universe in case we are ever forced to leave Earth. As of right now, obviously there is no way we can travel to these planets because they are light years away and to travel just one light year would take us 80,000 years with current technology. But, with changes in space travel and space colonies, we may get there one day. 10. Kepler-283c
Housed in the Cygnus constellation, Kepler-283 is a star that is 1,700 light years away from Earth. It is slightly bigger than half the width of our sun and researchers believe that there are two planets that orbit the star. Kepler-283b is closest to the star and it is too hot for water to exist. However, the outer planet Kepler-283c is in the hospitable zone, known as “ Goldilocks conditions ,” of the solar system.
