According to Jeddah Astronomical Society Chairman Majid Abu Zahira, the term "Giant Earth" is called "the exoplanet rock planet", which is much larger but theoretically smaller than the size of the gaseous planets. Other attributes, with the exception of mass and size, are therefore called the term.
The astronomers of the project "Red Dots" were looking to discover rocky planets orbiting stars, they discovered new planets using a technique called the radial velocity method, which seeks the oscillation in the movement of the planet. mother star. The three planets were found to have an orbital cycle of 3.2, 6.7 and 13 days and the minimum mass of the three planets ranged from 1.4 to 1.8 Earth masses.
