GJ 536 is 34.0 light-years from the Sun. The NASA Exoplanet Archive lists 2 planets around this M1 V star; the first was found in 2016 by radial velocity (La Silla Observatory).
Fly there in 3DGJ 536 b goes round its star every 8.71 days, 10 times as often as Mercury goes round the Sun.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| GJ 536 b | 8.71 days | 0.0668 AU | 2.41 R⊕ estimated | 6.37 M⊕ minimum | Radial Velocity, 2016 |

Values are the NASA Exoplanet Archive’s composite parameters. A radius marked estimated comes from a mass–radius relation; a mass marked minimum is M sin i. Planet sizes and colours in the 3D view are renderings: none of these worlds has been photographed as more than a point of light.
For a star of 3,641 K, 0.044 times as bright as the Sun, the habitable zone, where starlight could keep water liquid on a rocky surface, runs from about 0.22 to 0.42 AU. None of its known planets orbits inside it. The zone says how much starlight arrives, not whether a planet has water or air. The edges follow Kopparapu et al. (2014), as the 3D view draws them.
