{{Quote|Outdoor world with a human-breathable atmosphere and indigenous life. The atmosphere is far from chemical equilibrium as a result.|In-Game Description}}

An '''Earth-like World''' is a type of [[Terrestrial Planet]] that has an active water-based chemistry and indigenous carbon-water-based life. As the name indicates, the planet [[Earth]] in the [[Sol]] system is the standard by which all bodies of this type are compared. Naturally-occurring Earth-like Worlds are very rare, and they also occasionally support indigenous intelligent species at various stages of development. [[Universal Cartographics]] offers some of its highest payouts for discovery and mapping data of previously uncharted Earth-like Worlds.

Quite a few ELWs exist in the galaxy without any human intervention.

[[Trappist-1]] has one such ELW.

ELWs are generated to have:

* An oxygen-nitrogen atmosphere with variable pressure (approximately 0.5–4.5 atm), but with the partial pressure of fixed at 0.21 atm, the same as Earth's

** In real life, nitrogen has an anesthetic effect, even at air pressure. Humans living on a 4.5 atm ELW would be permanently intoxicated – not bad for a Tourist economy. On the other hand, low-pressure worlds can be a bit more productive.

** As the description says, presence of any oxygen in the atmosphere is "far from chemical equilibrium", because oxygen must be continually generated to compensate for its tendency to react with things. This implies that every ELW has plenty of photosynthetic life.

* Gravity of 0.2–1.8 g

* Average temperature around 250–400 K. Water might exist in smaller patches at the extremes.
