Well, from the body shape, we figured ET to be somewhat amphibious. The extending neck seemed to be perfect for getting above water or vegetation for a look around. ET had no problem with our gravity, so world size is roughly the same (ignoring variations in density for the moment.)
ET evolved for a cold climate. Exposure to the SoCal sun left him nearly comatose, and looking bleached. Obviously he was suffering from sunstroke. Time in the government cooler perked him right up!
Given his preference for working at night, along with the large eyes, it can be surmised that their local star is a bit dimmer than Sol, possibly a G8 V or lower.
So we have a cool world with lots of water. It probably has a moon, since ET looks like a crteature that would evolve in tidal marshes.
