Kepler-806 b: A Close-In Earth-Sized World
Kepler-806 is a star 1180 light-years away with one known planet. The host star is 7.76 billion years old and has a mass of 0.99 solar masses, a radius of 1.16 solar radii, and a temperature of 5770 K.
The system's single planet, Kepler-806 b, was discovered by transit in 2016. A transit occurs when a planet passes in front of its star from our viewpoint, causing a small dip in observed brightness. Kepler-806 b is classified as Earth-like, with a radius of 1.14 Earth radii. This places it within the Earth-like size class, which includes planets up to 1.5 times Earth's radius. Its orbital period is 8.09 days.
