If a planet were discovered between mars and earth, what would its characteristics possibly be?

Characteristics such as: rotation rate, revolution rate, number of moons, number of rings, etc.

Answer 1

Rocky like the Earth and Mars and not at all gaseous.

In light of the space-rock-orbiting asteroids that circle between Mars and Jupiter, I arrive at this conclusion.

It is possible that the orbit of Ceres, the largest rock orbiter asteroid, provides a lower limit for the orbits of rocky orbiters.

The characteristics of a planet between Mars and Earth would depend on various factors, including its distance from the sun, composition, and atmospheric conditions. It could have a moderate temperature, possibly liquid water, and a mix of rocky and gaseous components.

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
