Kepler-1612 b: A Close-In Earth-Sized World
Kepler-1612 is a star located 2490 light-years away. It has one known planet. The star is 4.57 billion years old and has a mass of 0.96 solar masses and a radius of 0.94 solar radii. Its temperature is 5640 K, which is cooler than the Sun's.
The planet Kepler-1612 b was discovered in 2016 by the transit method, in which a planet passes in front of its star from our viewpoint and causes a small dip in observed brightness. Repeated dips help establish orbital periods. Kepler-1612 b orbits its star every 3.92 days. It is classified as Earth-like and has a radius of 1.03 Earth radii. This size classification compares radius with Earth's: an Earth-like planet stays within 1.5 times Earth's radius.
