With a radius of 2.5 times that of Earth, it is likely a water world or even a mini-Neptune if it has a gaseous composition. Assuming that Kepler-445c has the same density of Earth, it would have a mass of 15.9M⊕, according to the PHL exoplanet density calculator

gollark: Yeeeees, I sometimes faaaaial to assplepselell.
gollark: > problem 1: there are too many botsThiis is not a problem. You are wrong.> problem 2: the people there suckThis is untrue. We have many interesting people and contentoids.> problem 3: its just badThis is axiomatically false.
gollark: So if heavserver is bad, this implies it has problems. Explain them.
