  dust and gas are the most likely.

  That’ll answer your question. I think we find new planets quite often but they aren’t like earth.

  Well we’ve found the planet which resembles one big diamond. We’ve found quite a few that are Earth like in vague terms (need to take a closer look to figure out how close to Earth). Plenty are just gas and dirt, or at least some approximation of one or other.
  
  More interesting is where the planet might be found. There is building suspicion that there may be one or more lurking at the outer reaches of the solar system, just trying to figure out exactly where.

  I think they find new planets quite often as out technology improves and we can look further away from Earth. Most planets probably don’t have very much on them except dust and gas but if we keep looking I think one day we might find some sort of planet capable of sustaining life! 😀
