Exoplanet mass
Exoplanet HIP 65426 b has 2257.14 Earth masses (or 7.1024 Jupiter masses).

The mass of an exoplanet is one of the most important characteristics for understanding what kind of world it is — whether it’s small and rocky like Earth or large and gaseous like Jupiter. Mass provides key information about the planet’s composition, gravity, and formation history... icon More about Exoplanet mass in StellarGuide

The planet orbits too close to its star and is exposed to extreme temperatures and radiation prohibiting life as we know it.
question icon
The planet is probably a gas giant and has no surface, however life could still be possible on the potential moons orbiting it.
