K2-69 and Its Super-Earth
K2-69 is a star 589 light-years away with one known planet, K2-69 b. The host star has a mass of 0.524 solar masses and a radius of 0.527 solar radii, both smaller than the Sun's. Its temperature is 3640 K, cooler than the Sun's.
K2-69 b is a Super-Earth 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. The planet's radius is 2.32 Earth radii, larger than Earth's, and its orbital period is 7.07 days.
