K2-177 b: A Super-Earth in a Distant System
K2-177 is a star located 1610 light-years from Earth. It has a mass of 1.08 solar masses and a radius of 1.66 solar radii, making its reported radius estimate larger than the Sun's. Its temperature is 5940 K, which is hotter than the Sun's. One planet is known to orbit this star.
That planet, K2-177 b, is classified as a Super-Earth - a size class that reaches up to 2.5 times Earth's radius. Discovered by the transit method in 2018, it has a radius of 2.12 Earth radii, larger than Earth's. Its orbital period is 14.2 days, the time it takes to complete one orbit around its host star.
