How many planets does gliese 581 have?

3-6. The 3 planet model would have gliese 581 b too hot, gliese 581 c in the habitable zone, and gliese 581 d too cold. The 6 planet model would have gliese 581 e, b, and c too hot, gliese 581 g and d in the habitable zone, and gliese 581 f too cold.


Is gliese 581c a sun?

No. g liese 581c is a planet that orbits a star, Gliese 581.


Why is Gliese 581 g nicknamed goldilocks?

What is special about Gliese 581 g?

It is a planet only about 3 times the mass of Earth orbiting in the habitable zone of the star Gliese 581. It is widely considered the most likely extrasolar planet to harbor life.


What known exosolar planet confirmed within the inhabital has had the highest calculated probability of supporting life?

The most likely candidates are (in no order): Gliese 581 g, HD 40307 g, Gliese 163 c, Gliese 581 d, Tau Ceti e, Gliese 667C c, Kepler 22 b, HD 85512 b and Tau Ceti f


Has someone landed on Gliese 581 g?

No. At 20.5 light years from Earth, and it only having been discovered, AND Terrans not having developed extra-light speed craft or wormhole technology, it would not be possible for anyone to have arrived at Gliese 581 G yet.


Are there any other planets than the ones we know of?

Yep,There's Gliese 581 g. There are also dwarf planets.


Can the planet Gliese 581 g support life?

Gliese 581 is a red dwarf star that is around 20.5 light years from ours. Up to six planets have been detected in orbit around this star Gliese e, b, c, g, d and f. The fourth one out (Gliese 581 g) is thought to be the most Earth-like planet found so far, if it were to be a rocky planet. It is the right distance from its star in terms of ideal temperature (for liquid water). It is 3.1 to 4.3 times more massive than the earth. It was discovered in September 2010, but is still to be confirmed. It is possible that this planet may harbour life, but the exact surface conditions cannot be confirmed precisely enough to say for sure.
