Kepler-1012 and Its Earth-Sized Planet
Kepler-1012 is a star 1340 light-years away with an age of 3.72 billion years, a mass of 0.95 solar masses, a radius of 0.91 solar radii, and a temperature of 5560 K. Its mass, radius, and temperature are all reported as smaller or cooler than the Sun's corresponding values. One planet orbits this star, named Kepler-1012 b. 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. Kepler-1012 b has an orbital period of 5.51 days, the time it takes to complete one orbit, and a radius of 1.29 Earth radii, larger than Earth's radius. Its Earth-like classification places it within 1.5 times Earth's radius.
