At first glance, the planet K2-18b sounds like just another set of numbers. It's about 125 light-years from Earth. It orbits a cool, faint star about once a month. And it's more than twice the diameter of Earth, and about nine times Earth's mass.
K2-18b is a possible example of a type of planet known as "hycean" — a combination of hydrogen and ocean. Such worlds are bigger and heavier than Earth, but smaller than Neptune, the solar system's next-largest planet.
What Planets Are Retrograde September 2022? You May Not Like The Answer
A new month is upon us, which means that a new set of planetary transits is on the horizon, including retrogrades. Retrogrades are usually dreaded in the astro community, but it's important to remember that they don't always spell doom and gloom.

Here is the list of earth-like planets found by NASA so far
NASA thinks that the exoplanet Kepler-452b and the star that it orbits are the most similar to Earth and the Sun so far. Even though it is 60% bigger than Earth, Kepler-452b is thought to be made of rocks and to be in the habitable zone of a G-type star like ours.
K2-72e is a confirmed exoplanet that orbits the red dwarf star K2-72. It is likely made of rock and is in the habitable zone of the star. It is the most distant of four planets found in the system by NASA’s Kepler spacecraft during its “Second Light” mission.
