It is the second planet in order from its host star in a triple planetary system, and has an orbital period of 17.9 days.
Wolf 1061c is classified as a super-Earth exoplanet as its estimated radius is greater than 1.5 R⊕.
In an attempt to search for life outside Earth, an astronomer has studied an exoplanet called Wolf 1061c and found that the celestial body could be habitable.
