You keep using this word "Earthlike..."
"A new physical model has added more support to the theory that the large exoplanet 55 Cancri e has an Earthlike atmosphere."
55 Cancri e has an average daytime temperature of 2300C and an average minimum temperature of 1340C, which has me wondering if exoplanet studies are now using a rather broader definition of "Earthlike" than the (admittedly fiction-based) sources I followed in my childhood. What exactly is Earthlike about the planet's atmosphere other than being similar in pressure at 1.4 bars?
