The Kepler-288 system contains 3 exoplanets. It is located 3894.79 light years away from the solar system.
Mass | 1.03 solar masses |
Radius | 1.09 solar radiae |
Temperature | 5918 kelvin |
Stellar Metallicity | 0.16 decimal exponent |
Age | 3.72 billion years |
At 3.434 Earth masses, Kepler-288 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.
