The Kepler-363 system contains 3 exoplanets. It is located 2487.25 light years away from the solar system.
Mass | 1.1 solar masses |
Radius | 1.49 solar radiae |
Temperature | 5593 kelvin |
Stellar Metallicity | 0.397 decimal exponent |
Age | 5.25 billion years |
At 1.657 Earth masses, Kepler-363 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.
