Kepler-872 and Its Super-Earth
Kepler-872 is a star located 2870 light-years away. It has one known planet. The star is 4.17 billion years old, holds 1.05 solar masses, spans 1.08 solar radii, and has a temperature of 5900 K.
The planet is Kepler-872 b, a Super-Earth discovered in 2016 by the transit method, in which a planet passes in front of its star from our viewpoint and causes a small dip in observed brightness. Its radius is 1.99 Earth radii, a reported estimate larger than Earth's. This falls within the Super-Earth size class, which reaches 2.5 times Earth's radius. Kepler-872 b completes an orbit every 2.58 days.
