Kepler 186f
By: Gab Giambrone
Rocky Road World
I gave it this name because shown in the video below Nasa says that its surface is rocky and its more like a Rockier world so I called it Rocky Road World.

Interesting facts about Kepler 186f
- This is the 1st planet with a radius similar to Earth's in the habitable zone.
- There are 5 other planets that orbit Kepler 186f.
- The planet also orbits a red dwarf star with half the mass of the sun.
- There is liquid water on Kepler 186f's surface.
- "Rocky Road World" orbits a star that is cooler and dimmer than the sun.
- The surface of Kepler 186f is very bright. (Comparing from the brightness of when our sun is just setting here on Earth.)
- Kepler 186f gets the same amount of energy that Earth usually gets as well.
Some promblems you would experience living on Kepler 186f are...
- There is hydrogen and helium but we need oxygen to live and breath.
- The water would freeze here because its on the colder edge.
Some ideas to overcome these promblems in Kepler 186f are...
- Live under a dome of some sort with oxygen to breathe.
- Use energy to melt the frozen water.
Some additional facts of Kepler 186f...
- The distance Kepler 186f is from Earth is about 490 lights years. Each light year is equal to 3.0 x 10^8 m/s.
- The gravitational constant on Kepler 186f is 1.11510 Nm^2/kg^2.
- If i lived on this planet today, I would be 39.94 years of age.
