Verdist

Verdist is a fictional planet located in the Kepler-186 system, approximately 500 light-years from Earth. It is the fifth planet in orbit around the M-class red dwarf star Kepler-186. Verdist gained significant attention due to its discovery within the habitable zone of its star, the region where liquid water could potentially exist on the planet's surface.

The planet is estimated to be slightly larger than Earth, with a radius about 1.1 times that of our own planet. Its mass is also believed to be comparable. Due to its orbit around a red dwarf star, Verdist likely receives less visible light than Earth, but it may receive a greater proportion of infrared radiation. The surface conditions of Verdist are currently unknown, as are the presence or absence of an atmosphere, liquid water, or life.

The Kepler-186 system itself contains four other planets, all of which are closer to the star than Verdist. The discovery of Verdist as an Earth-sized planet in the habitable zone was a landmark event in the search for exoplanets that could potentially support life. Further observations and research are required to determine the specific characteristics of Verdist's atmosphere, geology, and potential habitability.
