Kepler-963 and Its Two Planets
Kepler-963 is a G-type star located 2520 light-years away. It is cooler than the Sun, with a temperature of 5460 K, and its reported mass and radius estimates are both smaller than the Sun's, at 0.91 solar masses and 0.87 solar radii. The star is 4.07 billion years old. Two planets are known to orbit this host.
Kepler-963 b is a Neptune-like planet discovered by transit in 2016. It completes an orbit every 9.98 days and has a radius of 2.66 Earth radii, larger than Earth's. Its radius is the largest among the listed planets.
Kepler-963 c is a Sub-Earth discovered by transit in 2024. It orbits in just 0.92 days, the shortest year among the listed planets. With a radius of 0.6 Earth radii, it is smaller than Earth and has the smallest radius among the listed planets.
