Kepler-62e is an exoplanet that orbits a K-type star. It was discovered in 2013.
Kepler-62e is a super-Earth with a radius 1.61 times that of Earth. It has a mass of 36 Earths and an equilibrium temperature of 270 K (−3 °C; 26 °F). It takes 122.4 days to complete one orbit of its star, which is 0.427 AU away.
Kepler-62e is located about 1,200 light-years from Earth in the constellation Lyra. It orbits its host star at about the equivalent distance of Mercury in its planetary system.
Kepler-62e is believed to be a water world. It’s in the habitable zone of a star smaller and cooler than the sun.
Is life possible on Kepler-62e?
The modeling study suggests that Kepler-62e would have a very hospitable climate for life, as it would be a damp and warm environment even up to the area around its poles. “Look at our own ocean — it is just absolutely full of life,” said Borucki, who also led the team that discovered Kepler-62e and Kepler-62f.
What makes Kepler-62e habitable?
Kepler-62e, in particular, has a radius only 60 percent larger than Earth’s, meaning that if it is a rocky planet like Earth it might have a similar mass. With a similar mass (meaning similar gravity) and an atmosphere, Kepler-62e could have life as we know it
