Kepler-1994 and Its Lone Planet
Kepler-1994 is a star 789 light-years away with one known planet. The star has a mass of 0.921 solar masses, a radius of 1.11 solar radii, and a temperature of 5340 K. Its radius is larger than the Sun's, while its temperature is cooler than the Sun's.
The planet Kepler-1994 b was discovered by transit in 2023. A transit occurs when a planet passes in front of its star from our viewpoint, causing a small dip in observed brightness; repeated dips help establish orbital periods. Kepler-1994 b orbits every 4.61 days and has a radius of 0.51 Earth radii, smaller than Earth's. This size places it in the Sub-Earth class, which compares radius with Earth's and denotes a planet smaller than Earth.
