Kepler-746 and Its Solitary World
Kepler-746 is a single-star system whose host star has a mass of 0.91 solar masses, a radius of 0.93 solar radii, and a temperature of 5420 K, making it both less massive and cooler than the Sun. It is 8.71 billion years old.
One planet is known to orbit this star. Kepler-746 b is an Earth-like planet discovered by the transit method in 2016. A transit occurs when a planet passes in front of its star from our viewpoint, causing a small dip in observed brightness. The planet's radius is 1.11 Earth radii, slightly larger than Earth's, and it completes one orbit every 3.48 days.
