Kepler-862 and Its Super-Earth
Kepler-862 is a star located 3390 light-years away, and one planet orbits it. The star is estimated to be 4.79 billion years old, with a mass of 0.88 solar masses and a radius of 0.84 solar radii. Its reported temperature is 5330 K. Its mass and radius are both smaller than the Sun's, and its temperature is cooler than the Sun's.
The system's only known planet is Kepler-862 b, a Super-Earth discovered by the transit method in 2016. It completes an orbit every 3.15 days and has a radius of 2.21 Earth radii, larger than Earth's.
