    Summary

    Description
    English: This infographic compares the orbit of the planet around Proxima Centauri (Proxima b) with the same region of the Solar System. Proxima Centauri is smaller and cooler than the Sun and the planet orbits much closer to its star than Mercury. As a result it lies well within the habitable zone, where liquid water can exist on the planet’s surface.
    Français : Cette infographie effectue le comparatif entre l’orbite de la planète autour de Proxima Centauri (Proxima b) et son équivalent dans le Système Solaire. Proxima Centauri est caractérisée par une taille et une température de surface inférieures à celles du Soleil, et sa planète se situe à plus grande proximité de son étoile que Mercure du Soleil. En conséquence, Proxima b se situe à l’intérieur de la zone d’habitabilité, condition nécessaire à la présence d’eau liquide en surface.
    Deutsch: Diese Grafik vergleicht die Bahn des Planeten (Proxima b) um Proxima Centauri mit der gleichen Region in unserem Sonnensystem. Proxima Centauri ist kleiner und kühler als unsere Sonne und die Planetenbahn liegt viel näher am Stern als Merkur bei unserer Sonne. Als Ergebnis liegt die Bahn innerhalb der habitablen Zone, wo flüssiges Wasser auf der Oberfläche existieren kann.
    Español: Esta infografía compara la órbita del planeta que gira alrededor de Próxima Centauri (Próxima b) con la misma región del Sistema Solar. Próxima Centauri es más pequeña y más fría que el Sol y el planeta orbita mucho más cerca de su estrella que Mercurio de nuestro Sol. Como resultado, se encuentra dentro de la zona de habitabilidad, lo que permitiría la existencia de agua líquida en la superficie del planeta.
    Português: Este gráfico compara a órbita do planeta em torno da Proxima Centauri — Proxima b — com a mesma região no Sistema Solar. A Proxima Centauri é mais pequena e mais fria que o Sol e o seu planeta orbita muito mais próximo da estrela do que Mercúrio do Sol. O resultado é que o planeta se situa bem dentro da zona de habitabilidade da estrela, local onde água líquida pode existir à superfície do planeta.
