Can humans live on Gliese 667Cc?
Gliese 667Cc is located in the habitable zone of its host star and is currently the most Earth-like planet known (ESI=0.82). The planet GJ667Cc is even more similar to our Earth than Kepler-22b, which was confirmed as a potentially habitable planet just a few weeks ago.
Why is Gliese 667C not suitable for life?
It orbits too close to the star to be in the habitable zone and thus not suitable for life as we know it. Eccentricity analysis indicates that Gliese 667 Cb is not a rocky planet. The planet is likely to be tidally locked. Thus, one side of the planet is in permanent daylight and the other side in permanent darkness.
How far is Gliese 667Cc from its sun?
22 light-years away
Gliese 667C is part of a triple star system known as Gliese 667. Located in the constellation of Scorpius only 22 light-years away, the star is just over one third of the mass of the Sun.
How far is Gliese 667 from Earth?

Is Trappist 1f habitable?
TRAPPIST-1f has a radius about the same as Earth, at around 1.045 R Earth, but only about two thirds of Earth’s mass, at around 0.68 M Earth. TRAPPIST-1f is therefore likely to be no more habitable than any other gas or ice-giant with water clouds in its atmosphere.
What is the size of Gliese 667Cc?
