Possibly similar to ours. It should be stressed that we observe these exoplanets only indirectly, by how they influence other objects in their star system we CAN easily observe (namely the star itself) and deduce from that some it’s general characteristics. We currently know nothing meaningful about its atmosphere or other conditions that would be vital for life on its surface.
It is currently estimated to be about five times Earth’s mass, so it’s also likely to be notably bigger and heavier than Earth, so much so it may not even be a rocky world after all, but only further observations will be able to tell.
