Kepler-678 b: A Jupiter-Like World
Kepler-678 is a star 5960 light-years away with one known planet. The star is 4.47 billion years old, has 0.94 solar masses, 0.91 solar radii, and a temperature of 5520 K. Its reported mass estimate is smaller than the Sun's, and its reported temperature is cooler than the Sun's.
The planet Kepler-678 b was 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; repeated dips help establish orbital periods. Kepler-678 b completes an orbit in 7.28 days and has a radius of 5.14 Earth radii.
That radius places Kepler-678 b in the Jupiter-like class, which exceeds 4 times Earth's radius. Its reported radius estimate is larger than Earth's.
