Planets are simply named by adding a letter to the host star name. The first planet found orbiting GJ 581 is called GJ 581 b (where A corresponds to the star). The 2nd discovered planet is GJ 581 c, and so on.

It's not too hot or too cold. (As in the porridge) It can also refer to a planet that is close to the size of the Earth.

What is the difference between Gliese 581 c and Gliese 581 d?

Gliese 581 c is too hot for life because it is closer to its star. This planet is similar to venus. This planet traps too much heat that causes a strong greenhouse effect. The temperature is too high and the atmosphere is nearly all carbon dioxide. Gliese 581 d is at the right distance for liquid water to exist. It is at the Goldilocks zone just like the earth. That means life could exist on Gliese d. This planet have the right temperature. It has a magnetic field and a rich oxygen and nitrogen atmosphere.


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.
