What makes the TOI-270 system particularly interesting is that the three exoplanets detected this far (there may be more) have sizes comparable to the Earth. Compare the orbital period of TOI 270 c and TOI 270 d. For every revolution that TOI 270 d makes around the host star TOI 270, how many revolutions does TOI 270 c make?
