The planet HD 40307g
not too cold and not too hot. The planet rotates on its axis, and this implies
the change of day and night, making conditions on it even more similar to
Earth.
Scientists have
discovered at a distance of 42 light years of our solar system in the
constellation Pectoris, a planet whose climate may be suitable for life, writes
The Independent.
The planet, called HD
40307g, is from its sun is at such a distance that could exist on the surface
of liquid water. The orbit of the planet lies in the so-called Goldilocks zone,
that is, at a distance, where the temperature is not too high and not too low
to sustain life, wrote the correspondent.
"Just like
Goldilocks liked the porridge, which is not too hot and not too cold, and the
planet - and its satellites - in orbit, comparable to the Earth, increasing the
likelihood of habitability," - said Professor Hugh Jones of the University
of Hertfordshire.
In addition, "the scientists
believe that the planet rotates on its axis, and this implies the change of day
and night, making conditions on it even more similar to Earth," adds the
correspondent, John Hull.
