The Kepler-324 system is known to contain 3 exoplanets in orbit around it. It is located 1635.91 light years away from the solar system.
Mass | 0.9 solar masses |

At 2.232 Earth masses, Kepler-324 d 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. No Super Earths are known to exist in our solar system, but if it exists, the so-called Planet Nine could very well be a super Earth, as it is hypothesized to have a mass between five and ten Earth masses.

At more than 10 Earth masses, Kepler-324 c is an ice giant, a planet that is made up mostly of volatiles like water, amonia and methane, and enveloped by a dense hydrogen and helium atmosphere, much like Uranus and Neptune in our solar system.
