Extrasolar Earthlike Planets By Daniel Paik

What is Earth-like?

• Energy Source• Photo-spheric Temperature• Mass• Orbit and Rotation• Microenvironments/Extremophiles• Ecology• What do you think is the hardest aspect of

Earth for a planet to emulate?

• 1.6x• 122 days

• Habitable zone

Kepler-62e

• Lyra• 1.4x• Ice/water• Habitable zone

• If Kepler-62f has a mass of 1.4x Earth, would it be easier or harder to move than on Earth?
