K2-215 b: A Super-Earth in a Distant Star System
K2-215 is a star located 1320 light-years from Earth. It has a mass of 1 solar masses, a radius of 0.974 solar radii, and a temperature of 5700 K. Its reported temperature is cooler than the Sun's. One planet orbits this host: K2-215 b.
K2-215 b is a Super-Earth discovered by the transit method in 2018. A transit occurs when a planet passes in front of its star from our viewpoint, causing a small dip in observed brightness. Its reported radius estimate is 2.12 Earth radii, which is larger than Earth's. A Super-Earth's radius reaches 2.5 times Earth's. The planet completes an orbit in 8.27 days.
