Earth like planets

Apparently there exists an Earth like planet named Gliese Cc which is a mere 22 light years away. Any one of us could go there so long as we can go the speed of light and don't mind giving up 22 years back on Earth. (If we did not come back, seemingly it would not matter.) This planet is 4.5 times as big as Earth but I am willing to suppose we will NOT weigh 4.5 times as much. That would be a tragedy indeed. One interesting thing is that this planet orbits it's sun every 28 days. So those of us who enjoy the change of seasons would be in for a windfall. A complete "year" of seasonal changes every 28 days. I realize that some among us do that by traveling north to south and vice versa with seasonality. But, they are wealthy or something. ^_^

Best regards,

Any planet with a 28 day orbit is going to be hot enough to melt most metals and with barely a trace of whatever atmosphere it started out with.

"Look Mathew, the copper pool froze over last night."

"Yep, been a mighty cold winter, you betcha."

Are you saying that because it is going so fast it must be hot or because a orbit of that length suggests close proximity to the star it orbits?

According to the astronomical report, neither is true but what do scientists know?

Best regards,
