The recorded orbit
The selected archive solution gives an orbital period of 389.7 days, or 1.06694 Earth years. Its reported semimajor axis is 0.5714 AU. That orbital scale is 1.47611 times Mercury's semimajor axis. The period measures a year on this planet. It does not establish the length of its rotation or the duration of daylight.
Read how orbital period, size, and eccentricity fit together.
Size and mass
No planetary radius is supplied in this selected solution. The profile leaves that gap visible rather than estimating a size from the mass. The mass parameter is 10.62 (+1.31 / −1.47) Earth masses. Its archive provenance is Msini. Read this provenance before comparing it with a true mass: an inclination-dependent minimum or another mass definition must keep its qualification.
The host star and received light
The host is cataloged as GJ 1151. The selected row gives spectral type M 4.5V. Its reported effective temperature is 3280 K. Its reported radius is 0.1781 solar radii. Its reported mass is 0.1639 solar masses. The available stellar and orbital entries do not establish a breathable atmosphere, surface water, or life.
