It's actually quite a bit larger than Earth. Earth is 8,000 miles diameter, Gliese 581 is 12,000 miles diameter.

...let's not get planet envy, shall we? XD

true but here is one question science has never answered: of the gas giants, is there a solid core since solids are more dense and thus would have more gravity to start with? another pondering is the gravity on the new planet. as i listed above solids are more dense but not all solids are the same so i wonder about the G well this planet generates.

I heard the gravity on the new plant was about 2x Earth gravity.

well if the grav is double then it prolly has a higher uranium content to the core than our current planet's Ni-Fe core and mantle. (it has been noted that uranium keeps the core working and explains the polar shifts)
