For starters, an #Earth-like planet is essentially any planet that is rocky, roughly the same size as the Earth, and orbiting a G-type star—often called a yellow dwarf star—like the Sun.
The planet must also be orbiting at the 'Goldilocks’ distance—positioned in the habitable zone around the star—in order to be able to host liquid water, and potentially life, on its surface.
