Abstract
Using databases of exoplanets, we conducted a comprehensive analysis of the known astronomical parameters and properties. We have constructed some relationships and correlations of the main planetary characteristics with classification by type of planets. We determined the average distance at which the astronomical snow line is formed in the exoplanet systems of red dwarfs. The stellar liquid water zone for exoplanetary systems near red dwarfs is calculated, taking into account the corotation zone.
