Kepler-62e is an exoplanet orbiting the star Kepler-62 and it's look like an Kepler-62f exoplanet. It's on the inner edge of its host star's habitable zone, but is cooler than Earth. It has a radius of approximately 1.61 Earth's and receives 1.2 times the amount of solar flux. Because of the high stellar slux, it may have a thick atmosphere like Venus and higher temperatures than expected. To be terraformed, some of the atmosphere would need to be removed. It may or may not have large amounts of water on its surface (could be an Oceanic Planet if the latter is true).
