The Kepler-271 system contains 3 exoplanets. It is located 1319.44 light years away from the solar system.
Mass | 0.9 solar masses |
Radius | 0.87 solar radiae |
Temperature | 5555 kelvin |
Stellar Metallicity | -0.13 decimal exponent |
Age | 4.57 billion years |
At 2.042 Earth masses, Kepler-271 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.
