The Kepler-33 system contains 5 exoplanets. It is located 3943.75 light years away from the solar system.
Mass | 1.29 solar masses |
Radius | 1.82 solar radiae |
Temperature | 5904 kelvin |
Stellar Metallicity | 0.025 decimal exponent |
Age | 4.27 billion years |
At 3.689 Earth masses, Kepler-33 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.
