The Kepler-179 system contains 2 exoplanets. It is located 1975.46 light years away from the solar system.
| Mass | 0.84 solar masses |
| Radius | 0.76 solar radiae |
| Temperature | 5302 kelvin |
| Stellar Metallicity | 0.123 decimal exponent |
| Age | 0.6 billion years |
At 3.339 Earth masses, Kepler-179 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.
