Kepler-1676 b: A Neptune-Like World in Transit
Kepler-1676 is a single known star, and one planet orbits it. The star has a mass of 1.07 solar masses, a radius of 0.996 solar radii, and a temperature of 6120 K, which is hotter than the Sun's reported temperature.
The planet, Kepler-1676 b, is a Neptune-like world, a size class that reaches four times Earth's radius. Its radius is 3.38 Earth radii, larger than Earth's. It completes an orbit every 29.9 days. Astronomers discovered it in 2020 using the transit method, in which a planet passes in front of its star from our viewpoint and causes a small dip in observed brightness. Repeated dips help establish orbital periods.
