System: HD 216770 system
Type: Gas giant

A relatively lightweight gas giant, HD 216770 b is a cloudless, blue world.

Orbital properties

Semi-major axis: 0.46 AU
Orbital period: 118.45 ± 0.4 d.
Eccentricity: 0.37 ± 0.06
Omega (deg): 281 ± 10
Inclination: -

The planet has a very eccentric orbit around the primary (HD 216770).

Conditions

The estimated mean temperature of the world is 351 degrees K, peaking at 442 K at periastron and cooling down to 300 K at apastron. An estimated 99.7755 degrees K is provided by internal heating from the core of the world.

Although the planet periodically enters the system's biozone due to the eccentricity of the orbit, it is unclear whether life could develop in such an alternating environment.

Gravitational propeties

Gravitational Influence: 0.028 AU / 4210000 km
Max Stable Prograde Moon Orbit: 0.01 AU / 1510000 km
