Kepler-669 and Its Jupiter-Like Planet
Kepler-669 is a star located 6730 light-years away. It is 3.16 billion years old and has a mass of 1.15 solar masses, meaning it is more massive than the Sun. Its radius of 1.2 solar radii is also larger than the Sun's, and its temperature of 6040 K is hotter than the Sun's.
One planet is known to orbit this star. Kepler-669 b is a Jupiter-like planet, a size class for worlds exceeding 4 times Earth's radius. Its radius of 4.83 Earth radii is larger than Earth's, placing it firmly in that class. It was discovered by the transit method, in which a planet passes in front of its star from our viewpoint and causes a small dip in observed brightness, with repeated dips helping establish the planet's orbital period. That period is 4.13 days.
