Earth analog the orbit and rotation (or tidal locking) of the planet, each of which introduces further variables. Below is a comparison of the confirmed planets with the closest known temperatures to Earth. Another criteria of an Earth analog is that it should orbit a solar analog, that is, a star much like our Sun, similar photometrically or in terms of spectral type. It follows that the composition of a planet around a solar twin with similar metallicity might have a similar composition to Earth. Also, this would help eliminate stellar extremes and variability that may be applicable to other types of
