Habitability Assessment
✓ Classified as a Temperate Habitable Zone Candidate.
With an estimated equilibrium temperature of 315 K (+42°C / +108°F) and a radius of 0.930 R⊕, Gliese 12 b falls within the conservative empirical boundary where a solid rocky surface could sustain liquid surface water under suitable atmospheric greenhouse conditions.
Discovery Facility: Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS).
