K2-372 and Its Neptune-like Planet
K2-372 is a star 1510 light-years away with a mass of 0.96 solar masses and a radius of 0.957 solar radii. Its reported temperature is 5500 K, cooler than the Sun's. One known planet orbits this host.
That planet, K2-372 b, was discovered by transit in 2022. A transit occurs when a planet passes in front of its star from our viewpoint, causing a small dip in observed brightness. K2-372 b completes an orbit every 9.84 days, and its radius of 2.95 Earth radii is larger than Earth's. This radius places it in the Neptune-like size class, which reaches 4 times Earth's radius.
