Discovery of water vapor (steam) on a planet like Earth

London: Astronomers at University College London have announced that they have discovered water vapor in the atmosphere of a planet like Earth. That is, there is steam in the atmosphere of this planet; and this is the most important thing about this discovery.

The research, led by Angeliu Sirius, shows that up to 50% of the planet's atmosphere may contain volcanoes, and after discovering its other properties, it is said that most of the planet's rocky surface. The section may be covered with ice containing frozen water.

Details of this discovery have been published in the latest issue of the research journal "Nature Astronomy"; which suggests that data obtained from the "Kepler" space mission and other research projects have also been used for this purpose. ۔
The new discovery will enable us to better understand life chances on other planets, says Sirius.

The Kepler space telescope, discovered in 2015, is called K2-18b, which is about 111 light years away from us. On the basis of long observations and careful calculations, experts have estimated that the planet's mass is 8 to 10 times larger than Earth's diameter, 2.7 times larger than our Earth's size, and because of its size, it affects our planet. Is about 20 times larger than



Experts call it a "super Earth"; that is, a planet that is larger in size and size than Earth but whose surface is rocky, and on which gravity is almost the same as our Earth's surface.

This is the second planet around its central star K2-18, which completes a cycle of its orbit in about 33 ground days. In other words, one year on this planet is only 33 days on our planet.

This finding is important because so far as the planets outside the solar system have discovered aquifers, they are, at first, very large in size and contain gas like Jupiter. In addition, they are located in the vicinity of their central stars, which by no means can be attributed to the existence and evolution of life.

What makes K2-18b unique is that it is very similar to the earth in its structure, even at such a distance from its central star that the potential for life to appear on it is bright. In addition to all this, the discovery of volcanoes in its atmosphere has given rise to the hope that the planet is truly conducive to life.

Can we get there now or not? This is a separate question.
