The recorded orbit
The selected archive solution gives an orbital period of 7.10795 days, or 0.0194605 Earth years. 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
The radius parameter is 2.14 (+0.087 / −0.069) Earth radii. Radius describes size; it does not specify the mass or the atmospheric composition. The mass parameter is Upper limit: 21.755 Earth masses. Its archive provenance is Mass. The source lists a bulk-density parameter of Upper limit: 12.998 g/cm³. Different interior mixtures can overlap in density; the value does not identify a unique surface.
The host star and received light
The host is cataloged as HD 63433. The selected row gives spectral type G5 V. Its reported effective temperature is 5553 K. Its reported radius is 0.934 solar radii. Its reported mass is 0.956 solar masses. The equilibrium-temperature entry is 967.11 (+18.5 / −15.89) K. This is a model quantity, not a measured surface temperature. The available stellar and orbital entries do not establish a breathable atmosphere, surface water, or life.
