Proxima Centauri b orbits a red dwarf star
Since it is a red dwarf, does this mean it was once a red giant and it may have engulfed the planet in flames?
I think I asked before, and it was said that it was never a red giant. So it may still have air and water, or does a red giant add air and gas to a planet?
Proxima Centauri b orbits a red dwarf star which is the nearest star to the Earth, Proxima Centauri.

If Proxima b is bigger than the earth, it may have a bigger magnetosphere, could this trap water?We can compare Mercury and Venus, the latter is close to the Sun and has a very thick atmosphere. Smaller than the Earth, yet inside maybe more Iron?
