Kepler-69c, is located 2,700 light-years away and could be considered a Venus type or an Earth type, depending on how livable its surface. It was acclaimed as the alien planet most similar to ours and, since its discovery, opened two debates: the first on whether it is more like Venus or Earth, and the second more optimistic about the existence of water.

In comparison to our solar system, the Kepler-69c orbit is slightly smaller than Earth's: the exoplanet is separated from its star by about 112 million kilometers compared to 150 Earth-to-Sun, and it takes a long time to Complete turn 242 days in front of the 365 of the Earth and the 224 of Venus.
