Still a more pleasant planet to be than on Kepler-70b.

On the other hand, from Kepler-70b, you could see Kepler-70c with the size 5 times larger than the Moon from Earth when these planets make their closest approach.

yes, that would be possible given the distance between them. but even if the planet were tidally locked, the temperature would be extreme even on the night side.

Not to mention temperature differences between the day and night side of the planet. I wonder why haven't these planets evaporated already.

my thoughts also! at that temperature, the elements that make up the planets, would vapourise and most likely be blown off the planet by the intense stellar wind.

I wish I had the powers of the Silver Surfer, without the Galactus thing! I'd scour the Spaceways for eternity!
