The Kepler-1468 system is known to contain 2 exoplanets in orbit around it. It is located 6194.49 light years away from the solar system.
Mass | 1.04 solar masses |
Radius | 1.05 solar radiae |
Temperature | 5893 kelvin |
Stellar Metallicity | 0.03 Decimal exponent |

At 3.657 Earth masses, Kepler-1468 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. No Super Earths are known to exist in our solar system, but if it exists, the so-called Planet Nine could very well be a super Earth, as it is hypothesized to have a mass between five and ten Earth masses.
