The recorded orbit
The selected archive solution gives an orbital period of 33200 days, or 90.8966 Earth years. Its reported semimajor axis is 26 AU. That orbital scale is 67.1665 times Mercury's semimajor axis. The listed eccentricity is 0.44. The period measures a year on this planet. It does not establish the length of its rotation or the duration of daylight.
Read how orbital period, size, and eccentricity fit together.
Size and mass
The radius parameter is 14.1233 (+0.336269 / −0.336269) Earth radii. Radius describes size; it does not specify the mass or the atmospheric composition. The mass parameter is 762.788 (+190.697 / −190.697) Earth masses. Its archive provenance is Mass.
The host star and received light
The host is cataloged as bet Pic. The selected row gives spectral type A6 V. Its reported mass is 1.789 solar masses. The equilibrium-temperature entry is 600 (+45 / −60) K. This is a model quantity, not a measured surface temperature. The available stellar and orbital entries do not establish a breathable atmosphere, surface water, or life.
