Kepler-720 and Its Jupiter-Like Planet
Kepler-720 is a star 3470 light-years away with one planet. The star is 3.63 billion years old, has 0.95 solar masses, 0.92 solar radii, and a temperature of 5620 K.
The planet Kepler-720 b is Jupiter-like, meaning its radius exceeds 4 times Earth's radius. Its reported radius estimate is 8.41 Earth radii, which is larger than Earth's. It was discovered in 2016 by the transit method, in which 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-720 b completes an orbit every 4.71 days.
