This fact brought to you by quarantine.
As far as I can determine, based on the very limited facts I have found in a star chart book my family got me awhile back (Cardassia’s star is -1.1 in absolute magnitude and has K0V spectral classification) and information on Wikipedia, regarding spectral classification, habitable zones, orbital period equations, and such.
The Cardassian year is likely much longer than an Earth year, and would be between 32.56 and 102.22 Earth years in length, with a greater likelihood of being at or below 40 Earth years in length.

I wonder what the AOS Cardassians are up to. Is it any different for them? I think it probably is. I tend to think of AOS has a whole separate dimension and not just a variant timeline (to borrow a term). I wonder what they would be like if, say, Cardassia Prime hadn’t fallen into the famine that allowed the establishment of fascist rule. They lost so much art and culture and history! It’s really fucking sad actually.
Idk what the point of this post is really XD Just rambling to get the thoughts out
