The Kepler-273 system contains 2 exoplanets. It is located 2328.64 light years away from the solar system.
Mass | 0.94 solar masses |
Radius | 0.81 solar radiae |
Temperature | 5626 kelvin |
Stellar Metallicity | 0.14 decimal exponent |
Age | 5.1 billion years |
At 2.859 Earth masses, Kepler-273 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.
