Summary
Description Exoplanet Comparison Gliese 581 c.png |
English:
Comparison of several possible sizes for the
exoplanet
Gliese 581 c
with the
Solar System
planets Earth and Neptune, using approximate models of planetary radius as a function of mass
[1]
for several possible compositions, based on mass reported in the Open Exoplanet Catalogue
[2]
as of 2015-11-14. Models include:
Gliese 581 c is not likely to be smaller than the iron planet, and will be considerably larger than the water planet if significant H or He is present. For non- transiting planets, all modeled sizes will be underestimates to the extent that the planet's actual mass is larger than the reported minimum mass .
