    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proxima_Centauri

    Proxima Centauri c is a candidate super-Earth or gas dwarf about 7 M E orbiting at roughly 1.5 astronomical units (220,000,000 km) every 1,900 days (5.2 yr). [81] If Proxima Centauri b were the star's Earth, Proxima Centauri c would be equivalent to Neptune.

    Proxima Centauri b is the closest exoplanet to Earth, [20] at a distance of about 4.2 ly (1.3 parsecs). [5] It orbits Proxima Centauri every 11.186 Earth days at a distance of about 0.049 AU, [1] over 20 times closer to Proxima Centauri than Earth is to the Sun. [21] As of 2021, it is unclear whether it has an eccentricity [e] [24] but Proxima Centauri b is unlikely to have any obliquity. [25]
