Kepler-1553 and Its Earth-Like Planet
Kepler-1553 is a star 2260 light-years away with one known planet. The host star is 4.57 billion years old, has a mass of 0.85 solar masses and a radius of 0.81 solar radii, and a temperature of 5290 K. Its mass, radius, and temperature are all smaller or cooler than the Sun's.
The planet, Kepler-1553 b, is classified as Earth-like. It was discovered in 2016 by the transit method, in which a planet passes in front of its star from our viewpoint and causes a small dip in observed brightness. It orbits every 4.24 days and has a radius of 1.15 Earth radii, making it larger than Earth.
