The planet probably revolves around its star, with one side always bright and the other perpetually dark. The mass of Wolf 1069 b is about 1.26 times the mass of the Earth. The planet orbits the star in 15.6 days at a distance equal to one-fifteenth the distance between the Earth and the Sun.
Although Wolf 1069 b is much closer to its Sun than our planet, it is still in the so-called habitable zone. The red dwarf emits much less light and heat. Scientists have estimated that if an exoplanet had an atmosphere like Earth’s, its average temperature (on the star-facing side) could rise to 12.85 Celsius, which is very promising for life.
