The K2-229 system contains 2 exoplanets. It is located 334.52 light years away from the solar system.
| Mass | 0.87 solar masses |
| Radius | 0.79 solar radiae |
| Temperature | 5315 kelvin |
| Stellar Metallicity | -0.09 decimal exponent |
| Age | 5.4 billion years |
At 2.490 Earth masses, K2-229 b is a so called Super Earth. Super Earths could be terrestrial worlds like Earth, but they could also be ocean worlds or terrestrial worlds wrapped in a substantial atmosphere, in which case some refer to them as Mini Neptunes.
