Conception of what Kepler-62e may look like

The planet is about 160% as large as Earth, and almost 450% as heavy. This makes it a super-Earth.^[1] Kepler-62e is in the habitable zone, the zone around a star where the temperatures on a planet can support liquid water. It is a possible ocean world, and may have cloudy skies and may be warm and humid.^[2]
