The Kepler-181 system contains 2 exoplanets. It is located 1987.21 light years away from the solar system.
Mass | 0.85 solar masses |
Radius | 0.75 solar radiae |
Temperature | 5333 kelvin |
Stellar Metallicity | -0.023 decimal exponent |
Age | 0.5 billion years |
At 2.156 Earth masses, Kepler-181 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.
