The researchers found 15 new planets are very similar to the solar system on Earth, one of which is called planet K2-155d.
The 15 new planets orbit a small, cool star known as the 'red dwarf' near our solar system.
What is interesting is the planet described by researchers as 'Super Earth', allegedly having clear water and there may be a potential alien life.
Researchers, from the Tokyo Institute of Technology, say that the red dwarf is a major research for the study of planetary formation and evolution.
K2-155d is about 200 light years from Earth, and has a larger size than our own planet.

According to the researchers, there are three planets called 'Earth Super', outer planets, K2-155d, have a habitable zone.
Teruyuki Hirano, who led the study, said, "In our simulations, the atmosphere and composition of the planet are assumed to be similar to Earth, and there is no definite guarantee of this research."
The researchers also found that 15 new planets are very similar to planets in our own solar system.
Dr Hirano said, "The most exciting red dwarf system, just beginning to be investigated, is the target of planetary research for the future."
Researchers now hope to study the planets further about how they are formed, and whether they can support alien life.
