Kepler-1618: A Distant Host and Its Close-Orbiting World
Kepler-1618 is a star 4010 light-years away with one known planet. The star is 1.78 billion years old, has a mass of 1.41 solar masses, a radius of 1.65 solar radii, and a temperature of 6620 K. Its reported mass estimate is larger than the Sun's, its reported radius estimate is larger than the Sun's, and its reported temperature is hotter than the Sun's.
The single planet orbiting this star is Kepler-1618 b, an Earth-like planet discovered by transit in 2016. It orbits every 6.11 days and has a radius of 1.26 Earth radii. Because an Earth-like classification stays within 1.5 times Earth's radius, this planet fits that size category, and its reported radius estimate is larger than Earth's.
