The Kepler-446 system contains 3 exoplanets. It is located 314.22 light years away from the solar system.
Mass | 0.22 solar masses |
Radius | 0.24 solar radiae |
Temperature | 3359 kelvin |
Stellar Metallicity | -0.3 decimal exponent |
Age | 3.72 billion years |
At 2.859 Earth masses, Kepler-446 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.
