Kepler-452b (sometimes quoted to be an Earth 2.0 or Earth's Cousin [4] [5] based on its characteristics; also known by its Kepler object of interest designation KOI-7016.01) is a candidate [6] [7] super-Earth exoplanet orbiting within the inner edge of the habitable zone of the sun-like star Kepler-452 and is the only planet in the system discovered by the Kepler space telescope.
This is a list of unconfirmed exoplanets discovered or detected by the NASA Kepler mission (Kepler Candidates from the NASA Exoplanet Archive) that are potentially habitable. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] Those already confirmed are listed by their Kepler names in the list of potentially habitable exoplanets , and the data may differ when the planets are confirmed.
Kepler-22b (also known by its Kepler Object of Interest designation KOI-087.01) is an exoplanet orbiting within the habitable zone of the Sun-like star Kepler-22.It is located about 640 light-years (200 parsecs) from Earth in the constellation of Cygnus.

K2-288Bb is unusual for having a radius not commonly seen among most exoplanets. At 1.90 R 🜨, it falls within the so-called Fulton gap between 1.5 and 2.0 R 🜨.This is the range of sizes where rocky super-Earths start to accumulate thick volatile layers and turn into mini-Neptunes. [2]
Its radius is 2.35 R ⊕ and its estimated mass, for an Earth-like density, would be 20.36 M ⊕. If the planet's atmosphere and albedo were similar to Earth's, its surface temperature would be around 22 °C. [54] It was the first exoplanet found by the Kepler telescope belonging to the habitability zone of its star. [55]
TRAPPIST-1f, also designated as 2MASS J23062928-0502285 f, is an exoplanet, likely rocky, [2] orbiting within the habitable zone [5] around the ultracool dwarf star TRAPPIST-1, located 40.7 light-years (12.5 parsecs) away from Earth in the constellation of Aquarius.
The closest exoplanets are those found orbiting the star closest to the Solar System, which is Proxima Centauri 4.25 light-years away. The first confirmed exoplanet discovered in the Proxima Centauri system was Proxima Centauri b, in 2016. HD 219134 (21.6 ly) has six exoplanets, the highest number discovered for any star within this range.
