The Kepler-191 system contains 3 exoplanets. It is located 1938.88 light years away from the solar system.
Mass | 0.81 solar masses |
Radius | 0.79 solar radiae |
Temperature | 5282 kelvin |
Stellar Metallicity | 0.13 decimal exponent |
Age | 0.9 billion years |
At 2.360 Earth masses, Kepler-191 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.
