Kepler-1253 and Its Solitary Planet
Kepler-1253 is a single-star system 1680 light-years from Earth. The host star is 7.08 billion years old, holds 0.97 solar masses, spans 1.1 solar radii, and has a temperature of 5850 K, which is hotter than the Sun's. One planet is known to orbit this star.
That planet is Kepler-1253 b, an Earth-like world discovered in 2016 by the transit method. It completes an orbit every 68.9 days and has a radius of 1.33 Earth radii, a size larger than Earth's. Earth-like is a size class: it stays within 1.5 times Earth's radius, a range that compares radius rather than composition.
