Kepler-677 and Its Solitary Known Planet
Kepler-677 is a star 6370 light-years away, with one planet orbiting it. The star is 4.57 billion years old and has a mass of 1 solar mass and a radius of 0.99 solar radii, with a temperature of 5720 K. Solar masses and radii compare stellar mass and radius with the Sun.
The planet is Kepler-677 b, a Jupiter-like world discovered by transit in 2016. A transit occurs when a planet passes in front of its star from our viewpoint, causing a small dip in observed brightness. Kepler-677 b orbits every 6.58 days and has a radius of 5.38 Earth radii; its reported radius estimate is larger than Earth's. Planet size classes compare radius with Earth's, and a Jupiter-like planet exceeds 4 times Earth's radius.
