Good Evening Writers,
I am in the process of developing a Science Fiction story. I have been developing some of the facts about the Solar System in which this story takes place in, and perhaps expanding it to further Star Systems, depending on how well I enjoy writing Sci-Fi.
I want your honest opinions on how well functioning this Star System would be..

Mass 3.37 x 1030 kg (1.69 x sol)
Temperature 6900 K
Luminosity 2.23 x 1027 W (5.83 x sol)
I
Type Rock Planet
Orbital Radius 6.04 x 107 km (0.40 AU)
Period 1.72 x 103 hours (0.20 earth years)

Could you describe them in layman's terms? I don't understand what you wrote...

I agree. The numbers and technical terms don't make all that much sense to me. I lean more towards fantasy rather than hardcore science fiction, so I never thought much beyond basics for creating worlds. Although Irrelae does have two moons and a red star as a sun...

A quick glance over the planets, though, and my first inclination is to say that there's too many rock-based planets in there. From what I remember in astronomy, a good portion of planets in solar systems are gas giants, some up to (and even over) twice the size of Jupiter. Now, the planets themselves might not be able to support life as we know it, but it's commonly believed that the moons would.
