The K2-36 system contains 2 exoplanets. It is located 357.95 light years away from the solar system.
| Mass | 0.79 solar masses |
| Radius | 0.72 solar radiae |
| Temperature | 4916 kelvin |
| Stellar Metallicity | -0.09 decimal exponent |
| Age | 1.4 billion years |
At 3.902 Earth masses, K2-36 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.
