Kepler-480: A Distant Star With a Close-Orbiting Neptune-Like World
Kepler-480 is a star located 2760 light-years away. It has an age of 2.34 billion years, and its reported mass is 1.25 solar masses, meaning it is more massive than the Sun. Its radius is 1.34 solar radii and its temperature is 6320 K, so the star is also larger and hotter than the Sun. One planet orbits this host: Kepler-480 b, discovered by the transit method in 2016.
Kepler-480 b is a Neptune-like planet with a radius of 2.78 Earth radii, making it larger than Earth. It completes an orbit every 4.92 days.
