There has been a lot of excitement recently as we have discovered another Earth-like planet recently. It’s called Proxima b, it is 1.3 times the size of Earth, it is far enough from its Sun that life wouldn’t get cooked or frozen on it.
This isn’t the only such planet we’ve discovered so far, so you could look here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_potentially_habitable_exoplanets for a list of the ones we think we might be able to live on (they tend to have very strange names!), or here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_nearest_terrestrial_exoplanet_candidates for a list of the ones that are closest to Earth (still pretty far away, though!)
