Stop describing a planet as 'Earth-like' unless it really is
- okket 10y agoSee also http://www.ice.cat/personal/iribas/Proxima_b/indepth.html http://www.ice.cat/personal/iribas/Proxima_b/indepth.html Not the Earth 2.0 In any case, and although it is an excellent candidate planet that could harbor life, Proxima b cannot be considered an Earth twin. One thing is certain, in fact: the history of Proxima b and its star was radically different from the history of the Earth and the Sun. The formation of Proxima b, the irradiation by its star, the tidal forces it suffers affecting its internal structure and rotation, its possible climates have no equivalent in the history of our planet.
