The recorded orbit
The selected archive solution gives an orbital period of 5.35876 days, or 0.0146715 Earth years. Its reported semimajor axis is 0.0381 AU. That orbital scale is 0.0984247 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
The radius parameter is 1.34 (+0.11 / −0.06) Earth radii. Radius describes size; it does not specify the mass or the atmospheric composition. The mass parameter is 2.73 (+0.25 / −0.23) Earth masses. Its archive provenance is Mass. The source lists a bulk-density parameter of 6.2 (+1.2 / −1.3) 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 LTT 1445 A. Its reported radius is 0.271 solar radii. Its reported mass is 0.257 solar masses. The planet's incident-flux parameter is 5.7 (+1.3 / −1.1) times Earth's received stellar flux. The equilibrium-temperature entry is 431 (+23 / −23) 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.
