This article is about the planet Kepler 22-b being able to sustain life. Kepler 22-b is 600 light years away and is very similar to Earth. The temperature on the planet is 72 degrees and has a star that is like the sun. It has a 290 day orbit around it sun like star. Kepler-22b itself is 2.4 times the radius of the Earth, making it the smallest planet ever found in a star's "habitable zone", the spot that allows an ideal temperature and climate for water to exist. Scientist still doesn't know much more but will be looking more into the planet. This planet is the first planet to be found on NASA's Kepler planer-hunting telescope.
