    Seven known planets of one star orbit it very quickly. A short year does not imply short local days.

    Each bar is one planet’s period in Earth days. The scale starts at zero; labels round to whole days.

    All pl_orbper records with exact host=TRAPPIST-1; seven unique planets, sorted by orbital period.

    Current PSCompPars composite archive, snapshot 2026-10-05: parameters may be measured or derived, and parameters of one planet can use different publications. These values do not establish habitability. Acknowledge NASA Exoplanet Archive/NExScI/Caltech-IPAC under contract with NASA.

    A question for this picture

    How are planet sizes and orbits distributed within one system?
