Kepler-600 and Its Neptune-like Planet
Kepler-600 is a star located 2020 light-years away, and it hosts one known planet. The star is estimated to be 4.57 billion years old, with a mass of 0.84 solar masses and a radius of 0.81 solar radii. Its temperature is 5280 K. The star's reported mass and radius estimates are both smaller than the Sun's, and its reported temperature is cooler than the Sun's.
The sole listed planet is Kepler-600 b, a Neptune-like world discovered by transit in 2016. It completes an orbit every 23.7 days. Its radius is 2.9 Earth radii, larger than Earth's. A transit occurs when a planet passes in front of its star from our viewpoint, causing a small dip in observed brightness; repeated dips help establish orbital periods.
