It orbits the star 581 once every 13 days. Earth orbits its star, the sun, every 365 days. Which means that Gliese orbits faster than Earth.

Is gliese 581c a sun?

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


How strong is the gravity on Gliese 581c?

If it is a rocky planet with a large iron core, Gliese 581c has a radius approximately 50% larger than that of Earth. Gravity on such a planet's surface would be approximately 2.24 times as strong as on Earth. If Gliese 581 c is an icy and/or watery planet, its radius would be less than 2 times that of Earth, even with a very large outer hydrosphere. Gravity on the surface of such an icy and/or watery planet would be at least 1.25 times as strong as on Earth.


Is there any planets like Earth?

Probably, but we haven't found one yet (as at April 2013).


How long would it take to travel to the planet Gliese 581C?

It will take me 20+ years since i can walk at the speed of light!;p Wait a minute, i get my hyperspace technology fixed and i will be there in a few minutes.. You guys are slow... it will take u guys 85,000+ years to get there!! In otherwards, you can't!


How likely is it for gliese 581c to contain life?

Answer - it's possible but unlikely.Scientists now think that Gliese 581c is slightly too close to its star; however they now believe Gliese 581d is in the "Goldilocks zone" and could support life. The only way to know for sure is to send a probe using matter antimatter annihilation. It would only take 30 years to go the 20.5 light year journey because of these speeds time dilation would come in so if it was a manned mission to the crew it would only seem like 6 years the spacecraft would have to be the size of a nuclear attack submarine manned or unmanned so by my estimates maybe by 2050 they will launch a probe there although i doubt ill still be alive to see the first images or video of the surface because it would take another 20.5 years for the transmission to reach us and maybe that transmission will confirm there is life there or it will confirm there is not to fully tell though the probe must have mobile landers maybe a lighter than air probe.We have no knowledge of any of the extrasolar planets of the Gliese 581 system. Gliese 581 is a red dwarf star, which would seem to lower the probability of any of the planets having "life as we know it", but of course, we can only guess about "life as we DON'T know it". I guess we'll have to launch a probe there and look; I'm not sure I'd run the risk of sending a crewed colony ship there, to a sun so different from our own.

How long would it take to travel to the planet Gliese 581C by spaceship?

Gliese 581c is about 20 light years from Earth.With present technology,it would take many thousands of years to get there.

Does gliese 581c support life?

yes gliese 581g has bacteria alians and humans could live there too. You can build a spaceship i your lifetime.

What is earth two?

some people call Venus the second planet closest to our Sun Earth's twin. but it is more likely the person who was talking about Earth's twin was on about Gliese 581c, it was the first found Earth like planet. it is 20.3 light years from Earth, which in the great scheme of thing is relatively close. it doesn't rotate on a axis though, so half of it is in constant night, while the other half is in constant daylight. also it is about 1.9 times the size of the Earth and 7-11 billion years old. which when our planet is about 4.5 billion years old and it developed us in just a few million years, give Gliese 581c a high chance of having not just life on it, but intelligent life on it. but Gliese 581c might not have liquid water on the surface, but it depends on what its atmosphere is like

If the earth had a twin?

It most likely be from a solar system called Gliese 581c. we can see 3 planets orbiting the small sun (smaller than ours) and the first 2 are to close to have liquid water but the one farthest away is in the right conditions to sustain life and is made of vary similar materials to earth.
