what planet looks like the Earth.

Venus. Nearly identical in size to Earth. It has an extreme greenhouse effect. Has many mountains, valleys, craters. Although astronomers are actually realizing that it is quite different than Earth.

I have never read anywhere (and I read a lot of astronomy and science articles) that Earth has a twin planet. They used to think Venus was our twin, but they realized it wasn't several decades ago. They found a planet about 20 light years away (around star Gliese 581) that is the smallest they have found outside our system so far (only 5 times the mass of Earth). Other than that, you have been misinformed.

I don't think there is a planet that looks like the earth. Mars may have some signs of water in it but it is barren. There are billions of heavenly bodies and I'm wondering why we are alone in this universe.

Venus is Earth's twin.

Most say Venus, but isn't Mars a close second? According to the latest data, Mars was what we are now.

All the known planets are unique.

What do you mean?
Colour?
Size?
Surface content?
I assume you're talking about our own solar system since we haven't really taken any useful pictures of planets outside our solar system. So, for ease, Mars is the closest in size, but it's red instead of blue.
