Kepler-476 and Its Neptune-Like Planet
Kepler-476 is a star located 2650 light-years away, and it hosts one known planet. The star is 5.37 billion years old, has 1.03 solar masses, 1.09 solar radii, and a temperature of 5840 K.
The planet is Kepler-476 b, 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 is classified as Neptune-like, a size class that reaches 4 times Earth's radius. Its reported radius estimate is 3.08 Earth radii, larger than Earth's, and it completes an orbit every 14 days.
