Did you know that there is a cousin of Earth ๐ŸŒ?! Yes a cousin of Earth and it's called Earth 2.0 or Kepler-452b!! Now I am going to tell you the facts of Kepler-452b and Kepler (Spacecraft) .

Kepler-452b is 60% bigger than Earth ๐ŸŒ, like a super sized Earth (As shown in the picture).

As you have seen the picture below Kepler-452b is in a solar system. It will take 28 million years to reach Kepler-452b!! Because it is in a different Solar System.
