What is TOI 700 d?

TOI 700 d is like a faraway cousin who lives on another planet, and it might be just like Earth in some ways.

Imagine you have a big family of planets all spinning around a star, kind of like how the Earth spins around the Sun. TOI 700 d is one of those planets, it's in the same family as other planets that scientists found using a special tool called a telescope. This telescope is like a super-powered pair of glasses that can see far away into space.

TOI 700 d isn’t too big or too small, it’s kind of like the size of Earth, which means it could have liquid water on its surface, just like we do here. Scientists think this might mean it has a chance to be a place where life can grow, even though it's really far away.

TOI 700 d is about 30 light-years from Earth. That’s like walking nonstop for 30 years, but instead of walking, you're moving through space at the speed of light! TOI 700 d is like a faraway cousin who lives on another planet, and it might be just like Earth in some ways.
