That is not a can of worms, that is a dream come true.Sci Fi in general is cans and cans of worms. Time travel, faster than light travel, wormholes, aliens, girls with 3 breasts, oh my !
I wouldn't call that a coincidence exactly. There are a lot of planets out there we just see the tiny fraction that are very similar to Earth because those are the ones that support life that is similar to us.And so many planets coincidentally have earth-like gravity, atmosphere, temps, etc. They also have one climate per planet.

INDEED! And all are named after the main species living on that planet: Cardassia - Cardassians, Cylon - Cylons, Neimoidia - Neimoidians. There are exceptions like Tattooine, Coruscant, Carillon and Earth in general. So if this would be the case in the real world, we humans would live on a planet called "Human". Sounds very weird. Buck Rogers (1979) chose "Terra" - "Terrans" which is acceptable but calling us "Earthlings" is very outdated.And so many planets coincidentally have earth-like gravity, atmosphere, temps, etc. They also have one climate per planet.
I would be more concerned by THIS:That is not a can of worms, that is a dream come true.
Science Fiction stories have been calling people fro Earth 'Terrans", and Earth "Terra" for decades. I've read stories from t he 30s where Earth was called Terra, and Earth people were called Terrans.Buck Rogers (1979) chose "Terra" - "Terrans" which is acceptable but calling us "Earthlings" is very outdated.
It is explained by him detecting the alien signal in the satellites. It's not perfect, but he's supposed to be smart... even though we never really see him or hear him be very smart.How did Jeff Goldblum's Apple laptop miraculously connect with the alien ship in ID4? I have enough trouble connecting to my Earth-made router.

Or for that matter, what happens to any air or gasses where you beam into? How is there no vacuum when you beam out?How come in Star Trek, whenever they beam someone out of a shuttlecraft, from a sitting position, they are recomposited in a standing position. Is this some fancy AI in the transport system Recognising they are sitting. Just once I’d like to see someone materialise in a seated position and gracefully fall to the side!

To use Star Trek's own language, those are "Class M" or "M-Class" planets--similar to Earth and capable of supporting human life. Besides, why would reasonable human beings visit a planet that would kill them?I wouldn't call that a coincidence exactly.
