At less than 1.5 Earth masses, Teegarden's Star c is a terrestrial planet, much like the terrestrial planets we find in our solar system, namely Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars. Teegarden's Star c orbits within the habitable zone of its parent star and could, potentially, be a habitable planet with stable bodies of liquid water on its surface, like Earth.
