There are currently two methods used for finding planets around other stars: the radial velocity method and the transit method. The first method relies on observing the gravitational influence between a star and a planet.
It is important to define what is meant by Earth-like. An Earth-like planet is not necessarily known to be habitable. Rather, it is simply a planet that has a size, mass, and composition similar to our home planet.

Jupiter is composed almost entirely of hydrogen and helium. The amounts of each closely conform to the theoretical quantities in the primordial solar nebula. But it also contains other heavier elements, which astronomers call metals.

RIT professor earns NASA grant to study baby stars and newborn planets closest to Earth
Kastner and his team will study a group of about 150 stars that are only about 5 million years old, roughly one-thousandth of our own sun's age, still babies in stellar terms.
"These stars are excellent places to look if you want to see a newborn planet," said Kastner.
The study will use data from four missions that will give them a view of the stars across a wide stretch of the electromagnetic spectrum.
