Kepler-1955 and Its Earth-Like Planet
Kepler-1955 is a star located 1470 light-years from Earth, and it hosts one known planet, Kepler-1955 b. The host star has a mass of 1.05 solar masses, a radius of 1.28 solar radii, and a temperature of 5830 K. Its reported radius estimate is larger than the Sun's.
Kepler-1955 b was discovered by the transit method in 2021. A transit occurs when a planet passes in front of its star from our viewpoint, causing a small dip in observed brightness. Repeated dips help establish orbital periods. Kepler-1955 b completes an orbit every 14.3 days, and its radius is 1.17 Earth radii, larger than Earth's. This planet is classified as Earth-like, a size class that stays within 1.5 times Earth's radius.
