Kepler-1687 b: A Super-Earth
Kepler-1687 is a star located 1360 light-years away, and it hosts one known planet. The star's reported mass estimate is 0.565 solar masses, smaller than the Sun's, and its reported radius estimate is 0.553 solar radii, also smaller than the Sun's. Its reported temperature is 4020 K, cooler than the Sun's.
The planet orbiting this star is Kepler-1687 b, a Super-Earth discovered by the transit method in 2020. A transit occurs when a planet passes in front of its star from our viewpoint, producing a small dip in observed brightness, and repeated dips help establish orbital periods.
Kepler-1687 b completes one orbit every 5.78 days. Its radius is 1.66 Earth radii, larger than Earth's. In size classification, a Super-Earth reaches 2.5 times Earth's radius, so this planet's radius places it within that category.
