The most “Earth like” planet ever discovered is almost exactly the same size and mass and orbits an identical star at close to the same orbit.

It is called Venus. Not very habitable though.

Scientists try to dumb things down for us but they wildly overestimate the intelligence of the audience.

I know what you mean about Venus being earthlike but I’ve always had an interest in science and recognize the terminology.

WOW! Our "objective" scientists think they have found a rocky planet in orbit around a "G" class star and, voilà!, it suddenly is described as "earth-like" and "habitable".

I guess "Greenland" is no longer the winner of "History's Most Outlandish Real Estate Brochure" award. (actually, at the time Greenland was named (the Medieval Warm Period) it probably did have green meadows for the Viking cattle to graze)

Your reality check wins the prize! Runners-Up are Mars & Mercury.
