Kepler-850 and Its Super-Earth
Kepler-850 is a star 5420 light-years away with one known planet in its system. The host star is 3.89 billion years old and has a mass of 1.06 solar masses and a radius of 1.09 solar radii, with a reported temperature of 5930 K that is hotter than the Sun's.
The system's single planet is Kepler-850 b, a Super-Earth discovered by transit in 2016. A transit occurs when a planet crosses in front of its star from our viewpoint, dimming the observed light. Kepler-850 b orbits every 7.19 days and has a radius of 1.78 Earth radii, larger than Earth's. A Super-Earth, as a size class, reaches up to 2.5 times Earth's radius, so this classification describes the planet's radius rather than its composition.
