Kepler-186f: Close to Earth Size, Exoplanet Comparison Kepler-186 , 5 Facts About Alien Planet Kepler-186f, 'Earth's Cousin', 'Kepler-186f,' New Earth-Like Planet,
Size comparison of Kepler-186 f with Earth

  1. It is the first planet with a radius similar to Earth's to be discovered in the habitable zone of another star.
  2. It is closer to its star than Earth is to the Sun.
  3. Kepler-186f's axial tilt (obliquity) is likely very small, in which case it wouldn't have tilt-induced seasons as Earth and Mars do.
  4. The planet is about 11% larger in radius than Earth (between 4.5% smaller and 26.5% larger), giving a volume about 1.37 times that of Earth (between 0.87 and 2.03 times as large).
  5. Kepler-186f is too close to the star, and therefore too hot to have liquid water.
  6. Kepler-186f is in a higher orbit, where the star's tidal effects are much weaker, so there may not have been enough time for its spin to slow down that much.
  7. It will probably rotate much more slowly than Earth; its day could be weeks or months long.
  8. Kepler-186f orbits an M-dwarf star, while Kepler-62f orbits a Sun-like star.
  9. If such a planet exists, it cannot be much more massive than Earth as it would then cause orbital instabilities
  10. Kepler-186f receives about 32%, placing it within the conservative zone but near the outer edge, similar to the position of Mars in our Solar System.

It's the largest source of salt in the country, producing more than 350,000 tons per annum of about 99% pure halite. Estimates of the reserves of salt in the mine vary from 82 million tons[11] to 600 million tons.

Visitors are taken into the mine on a train. There are numerous pools of salty water inside. The Badshahi Mosque was built in the mining tunnels with multi-colored salt bricks about fifty years ago.
Other visitor attractions in the mine include the 75-meter-high (245 feet) Assembly Hall; Pul-Saraat, a salt bridge with no pillars over an 25-meters-deep (80-foot-deep) brine pond; Sheesh Mahal (Palace of Mirrors), where salt crystals are light pink; and a cafe.
