Earth-Like是一个互动网站和推特机器人，允许用户探索类地行星的全球平均表面温度的变化，这是由于表面海洋和陆地覆盖范围的变化，火山活动（脱气）的速度和接收到的太阳辐射水平。温度是用一个简单的碳-硅酸盐循环模型来计算的，该模型根据选定的参数改变大气中二氧化碳的水平。该模型可以通过改变所有三个参数来实现超过- 100°C到100°C的温度范围，包括具有我们今天的火山活动速率的行星的冻融周期和位于宜居带外缘的出现的陆地部分。为了提高参与度，基于计算出的平均地表温度和陆地比例和火山活动的选定值，通过使用神经网络来渲染动画地球仪，使地球可视化。网站和机器人可以在earthlike上找到。世界和推特上的@earthlikeworld。通过用户调查的初步反馈表明，类地行星有效地证明了行星性质的微小变化会对地表环境产生强烈影响。该项目的目标是增加对我们在寻找另一颗宜居行星时所面临的挑战的理解，因为我们银河系中岩石世界的条件可能存在多样性。
Earth-Like is an interactive website and twitter bot that allows users to explore changes in the average global surface temperature of an Earth-like planet due to variations in the surface oceans and emerged land coverage, rate of volcanism (degassing) and the level of the received solar radiation. The temperature is calculated using a simple carbon–silicate cycle model to change the level of CO2 in the atmosphere based on the chosen parameters. The model can achieve a temperature range exceeding −100°C to 100°C by varying all three parameters, including freeze-thaw cycles for a planet with our present-day volcanism rate and emerged land fraction situated at the outer edge of the habitable zone. To increase engagement, the planet is visualized by using a neural network to render an animated globe, based on the calculated average surface temperature and chosen values for land fraction and volcanism. The website and bot can be found at earthlike.world and on twitter as @earthlikeworld. Initial feedback via a user survey suggested that Earth-Like is effective at demonstrating that minor changes in planetary properties can strongly impact the surface environment. The goal of the project is to increase understanding of the challenges we face in finding another habitable planet due to the likely diversity of conditions on rocky worlds within our Galaxy.
