Kepler-1563 and Its Sub-Earth Planet
Kepler-1563 is a star located 2010 light-years away, with a single planet known to orbit it. The host star is 4.07 billion years old and has a mass of 1 solar masses, a radius of 0.99 solar radii, and a temperature of 5770 K. Solar mass and radius compare a star's mass and radius with the Sun's.
The one planet circling this star is Kepler-1563 b, discovered in 2016 by the transit method. A transit occurs when a planet crosses in front of its star from our viewpoint, producing a small dip in observed brightness; repeated dips help establish orbital periods. Kepler-1563 b completes an orbit every 3.43 days and has a radius of 0.75 Earth radii. That reported radius estimate is smaller than Earth's, and its size classification is Sub-Earth. Planet size classes compare radius with Earth's: a Sub-Earth is smaller than Earth. Earth radii compare radius, not volume.
