Gliese 581c / ˈ ɡ l iː z ə / (Gl 581c or GJ 581c) is an exoplanet orbiting within the Gliese 581 system. It is the second planet discovered in the system and the third in order from the star . With a mass about 6.8 times that of the Earth , it is classified as a super-Earth (a category of planets with masses greater than Earth's up to ten ...
Gliese 581c is the third planet orbiting Gliese 581. It was discovered in April 2007. [ 18 ] In their 2007 paper, Udry et al. asserted that if Gliese 581c has an Earth-type composition, it would have a radius of 1.5R 🜨 , which would have made it at the time "the most Earth-like of all known exoplanets".

Later work suggests that Gliese 581 c would probably be too hot for liquid water. It was then suggested that Gliese 581 d might be warm enough for oceans if a greenhouse effect was operating. [23] Gliese 581 d is eight times the mass of the Earth and might have a thick atmosphere. Gliese 581 d looks an even better candidate

Gliese 581d / ˈ ɡ l iː z ə / (often shortened to Gl 581d or GJ 581d) is a doubtful, and frequently disputed, exoplanet candidate orbiting within the Gliese 581 system, approximately 20.4 light-years away in the Libra constellation. It was the third planet claimed in the system and the fourth (in a 4-planet model) or fifth (in a disproven 5 ...
Gliese 581 is roughly 0.4 times as big as Sol, but only 0.07 times as far from 581 c, so it appears quite large, 2.85 degrees of arc, about 5.7 times as big as Sol seen from Earth. 581 b, 0.003 times as big as Sol, when transiting, would be about 0.03 AU from 581 c; if Neptune-sized, that means 0.05 degrees, a tenth as big as the moon seen from ...
Gliese 581e / ˈ ɡ l iː z ə / or Gl 581e is an exoplanet orbiting within the Gliese 581 system, located 20.5 light-years (6.3 parsecs) away from Earth in the Libra constellation.It is the third planet discovered in the system (fourth if the disputed planet candidate Gliese 581d is included) and the first in order from the star.
