Kepler-62f är en superjord exoplanet,[2] som befinner sig 1 200 ljusår från jorden i Lyran. Planeten antas vara en stenplanet; möjligen också en vattenplanet.[3] Den kretsar runt sin stjärna Kepler-62 på 257 dygn[1] i den cirkumstellära beboeliga zonen.[1] Kepler-62f har en stor möjlighet att ha vatten på sin yta. Den kan ha liv[4][5] och planeten är även på SETI:s lista över planeter som kan ha intelligent liv.

The size of Kepler-62f is known, but its mass and composition are not. However, based on previous exoplanet discoveries of similar size that are rocky, scientists are able to determine its mass by association.

The artist's concept depicts NASA's Kepler misssion's smallest habitable zone planet. Seen in the foreground is Kepler-62f, a super-Earth-size planet in the habitable zone of a star smaller and cooler than the sun, located about 1,200 light-years from Earth in the constellation Lyra.
Kepler-62f orbits its host star every 267 days and is roughly 40 percent larger than Earth in size. The size of Kepler-62f is known, but its mass and composition are not. However, based on previous exoplanet discoveries of similar size that are rocky, scientists are able to determine its mass by association.
Much like our solar system, Kepler-62 is home to two habitable zone worlds. The small shining object seen to the right of Kepler-62f is Kepler-62e. Orbiting on the inner edge of the habitable zone, Kepler-62e is roughly 60 percent larger than Earth.
