Question

Is it really possibe to find planet like earth.Nasa already said that they already found the planet like earh...Do we have enough technology to travel til there.??or atlest can we find the traces of life on the planet like earth thro power telescopes .....???

Answer 1

there sure has to be one.

we have 2000 universes in all.

we'll find atleast one copy of earth somewhere....

Answer 2

Yes. All you need is bodies of water, land, and air with sufficient amount of oxygen.

Answer 3

At this point of time, there is no proof of any such.

And you cannot find it with the telescopes as well.

Probably with advancement of Science , we may find out soon!

Answer 4

until we can prove or disprove anything like this, we must assume that it is possible.

Answer 5

The best we can do with modern technology is locate planets similar to earth in terms of mass and distance from their star.

We can't see them, we detect their presence by their gravitational effects on the star and other planets in their solar system. Finding the existence of life is virtually impossible. If we were to send a radio signal to a particular planet, (assuming that the signal were strong enough to be detected), and if there were intelligent life on the planet, and if they had the sophisticated technology necessary to receive the signal, and if they could decipher whatever it was we sent as a message, it would take a minimum of 10 years to get their response. That's because the closest star to us is ~ 5 light years away. The planets that have been discovered are much farther away than that. The next part of your question is even more discouraging. So far, the fastest velocity we've been able to attain is ~20,000 mph., since light travels at a speed of ~670,600,000 mph. and the nearest star is ~2,883,500,000 miles away, it would take a space ship ~ 144,000 yrs. to get there, and, of course, another 144,000 yrs. to get back.....and we're talking about the nearest star,(Alpha Centauri). Even if we could increase the speed to 500,000 mph.,it would still take ~5,800 yrs to get there. Maybe now you'll see why I believe the reported sightings of extraterrestrials is absurd.....Of course, the belief that some people have in the existance of extraterrestrials is like their belief in God: it's not based upon logic, it's based upon faith.

So any attempt to try to convince them that the presence and sightings of aliens is ridiculous is doomed to fail.

Answer 6

IT would near impossible to find a planet like ours...

The distance to the main star, the size of the star, the temperature, the size of the p[lanet, the atmosphere, the plate tectonics, the amount of water, the polar tilt... all of this ? Not easy.   But you can try in the Yellow Pages.

The Earth is a Limited Edition of a Special Planet, for us.

Answer 7

We have found several "Earthlike" planets, but we don't yet have the technology to get there.  These planets are light years away, and we can't travel at the speed of light.

Astronomers using the High Accuracy Radial velocity Planet Searcher (HARPS) at La Silla Observatory in Chile have discovered three new rocky planets orbiting a single star, all within ten times the size of Earth.

The smallest of the three is only four times the size of Earth. The HARPS spectrograph is one of only two instruments capable of detecting planets this small. Even so, it took five years of careful observation of the host star for the researchers to establish the existence of the planet.

The discovery, along with other data collected by HARPS, suggests there may be a prevalence of exosolar terrestrial bodies in our galaxy. By some estimates, one out of every three sun-like stars could be host to a world with a mass and orbit similar to Earth's. It may even be possible that nearly every star has planets of some kind.

"Scientists have discovered a new planet in the constellation Libra. The small, rocky planet is special because it appears to have mild temperatures, like Earth. Researchers believe it looks like the first planet outside of our solar system that could be home to liquid water, and maybe even life."

"Mayor and his colleagues have had some luck using the European Southern Observatory's big telescope at La Silla, Chile. They recently pointed it at a nearby star called Gliese 581, in the constellation Libra.

"It's one of our closest neighbors in the galaxy," Mayor says.

His team has found three planets around this star, and one of them is particularly interesting. They think the planet is a little bigger than Earth, with about five times the Earth's mass. It orbits very close to its star, going all the way around in just 13 days. The planet isn't super hot though, because Gliese 581 is a red dwarf, which is much dimmer and cooler than our sun.

Scientists calculate that average temperatures on the surface of the planet should be around 32 to 104 degrees Fahrenheit. Mayor says that is a friendly environment for liquid water and maybe even life.

"We do not have any reason to believe that life exists on that planet," Mayor concedes. "We can only say that we have the temperature to permit the development of life. I would say it's one very interesting step in a long process going in the direction to having some major discovery related to life in the universe."

But don't count on visiting anytime soon. Even though Gliese 581 is close, compared with other stars, it still would take over 20 years to get there — if we could travel at the speed of light, which we can't do."

"Another Earth could be orbiting one of the Sun's closest stellar neighbours, scientists believe.

Habitable rocky planets are likely to have formed in the Alpha Centauri system, a trio of stars 4.37 light years, or 25.8 trillion miles, away, a study has shown.

Astronomers say if such worlds exist they could be detected using a dedicated telescope."

Answer 8

This depends on the measure of how much like earth another planet is.  It is quite possible to find planets that are the size of earth and similar distance to its parent star.  However, if you are looking for a planet that has a very similar geological and biological history as the earth, you will be very disappointed.  Earth has its own history that cannot be duplicated anywhere else.
