Kepler-568 and Its Super-Earth
Kepler-568 is a star located 426 light-years away, and it hosts one known planet. The star is 5.89 billion years old and contains 0.55 solar masses, with a radius of 0.53 solar radii. Its temperature is 3770 K, cooler than the Sun, and both its mass and radius are smaller than the Sun's.
The planet Kepler-568 b is classified as a Super-Earth, a size class that reaches 2.5 times Earth's radius. It was discovered in 2016 by the transit method, in which a planet passes in front of its star from our viewpoint, causing a small dip in observed brightness. Kepler-568 b has a radius of 2.26 Earth radii, larger than Earth's, and it completes an orbit every 11 days.
