GJ 1061 c is an exoplanet orbiting the star [[Gliese 1061|GJ 1061]], 12 light years away.<ref></ref>
As of March 2020, it is considered the fifth most potentially habitable exoplanet, with an Earth Similarity Index of 0.88.<ref></ref>
== Announcement ==
The exoplanet was announced on August 13, 2019 by members of the Red Dots project.
== Characteristics ==
It has a mass 75% higher than Earth, a solar flux 35% higher and an equilibrium temperature of 275 degrees Kelvin.<ref> Astronomy Sci-News.com|website=Breaking Science News Sci-News.com|language=en-US|access-date=2020-03-31}}</ref>
GJ 1061 c orbits its star every 6.7 days, so it is probably in synchronous rotation with its star.
== Habitability ==
GJ 1061 is a non-variable star that does not suffer flares, so there is a greater probability that the exoplanet GJ 1061 c still conserves its atmosphere, if it has one.<ref></ref>
It is an exoplanet warmer than Earth, with an equilibrium temperature of almost 2 degrees Celsius, so the average temperature on the surface could be around 34 degrees Celsius, provided the atmosphere is similar to that of Earth.
