Data obtained by the telescope revealed that the exoplanet could be even larger than Jupiter. The density of the planet was measured by the gravitational force in the light reflected from its star. Mass of planet larger than Jupiter It was 85 times larger than Earth.On the other hand, Jupiter has 318 times more mass than Earth.

According to this information, the planet had a mass of only 0.27 grams per square centimeter. Moreover, the planet is so light that it is now unknown how the planet could even form near its star. The planet does not only divide each of its genus around its star. It completes in 3.43 days.
