Exoplanet mass
Exoplanet Gliese 1002 c has 1.361 Earth 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...
