K2-385 and Its Super-Earth
K2-385 is a star located 1370 light-years away. It has a mass of 0.927 solar masses, a radius of 0.761 solar radii, and a temperature of 4840 K. Its reported radius estimate is smaller than the Sun's, and its reported temperature is cooler than the Sun's. One planet orbits this host.
That planet is K2-385 b, a Super-Earth discovered by transit in 2022. A transit occurs when a planet passes in front of its star from our viewpoint, causing a small dip in observed brightness. K2-385 b has a radius of 1.54 Earth radii, larger than Earth's, and an orbital period of 2.38 days.
